Nice effort.
For me though all the interest is in the top 1/3 of the frame. Perhaps I just find this foreground to infinity thing a bit overdone since the days of Ansel Adams doing similar lens swing tricks. I appreciate your effort and technical skill (and expense of color 4x5). I was in love with this sort of approach 25 years ago. Now I shoot selective focus (I know it's done a lot too). I really do think it's a great photo up at the top 1/3. Perhaps if it is of interest to you explorations with a 300mm on your Wista are to be considered.
 
For me the combination of the fine details in the forground with the landscape overview at the horizont is that what makes this image beautiful! It makes it different from a "tv-framed view" and gives the whole experience which you get by being in that landscape within one image. That this can be done with film in a large format camera maybe better than with a digital camera is a nice add on (in particular in this forum :smile:
