curt out the bottom half - you'll get nicer composition. The highlights (sun) are blown, but it is perfectly OK.

I wouldn't agree with the cropping. It's a nice framing.

I think it would have been better if it was shot a bit to the left, with the bush taking up no more than a third of the frame. It won't work to crop it, as the snow area would then be too narrow.

Still, it does show a bleak landscape, if that's what you're trying to do.

Although the sun may be a welcome sight, it does make for problems for a shot like this if your intention is to emphasize the blue, white and black colours. If your main intention was to contrast the the mountains and the tree again the the sun is a distraction.

You may have been trying to do too much.
