Hyva Paivaa.
First, I'm biased - I love Finland, so nearly anything I see is going to be affected by this.

Your lighting choice is superb. The subtle colors of the landscape and light are excellent. Exposure is nearly perfect. The only major flaw I see is that the composition is a bit weak, and it may be due to the camera position. The rock outcrop is uneven, giving a feeling that the camera may be be crooked, even though the horizon is clearly level.

Consider cropping the lower 40% or so from the image so that the whole picture becomes almost square. It loses much of the rock, but gains more balance overall. This may end up weakening the impact of the rock, but gives more of a sense of the distance and majesty of the view here.

It looks like you also might be able to get away with cropping far enough down to eliminate all of the sky and al of the far shore as well (just above the top of the tree in the foreground). See if you can capture all of the tall, thin island in the upper left, but don't capture the headlands behind it. This gives the water the feel of traveling on upwards into eternity, and rebalances the rock at the bottom, making the foreground tree a powerful accent to the stark beauty of the glacier- and wind-scoured rock.

This is a breathtaking scene, and I suspect that this shot can make an even better image with just a little bit of reframing. Kiitos for sharing it with us.
