Nice composition but it isn't 'mega sharp'. I think you might have been better shooting at a lower ISO and a wider aperture. F22 is very useful for close-up photography but the 'sweet spot' of most lenses is around f11 or f16. Also it has come out a bit too blue for my taste but that is only a subjective opinion.

Yes, I'll second that.
Whilst I'll always use f/22 for my indoor still-life pics and my large bloom outdoor flower shots...but it's not really the right choice for landscapes....at around the f/13 mark one starts to loose detail in exchange for the greater DOF, which in that kind of scenario actually becomes an unworthy trade off.

F/22 is actually called the "sharpness killer"

It's worth reading up on the subject of 'hyperfocal distance' which will help obtain greater depth and focus across the entire landscape range.
