I agree with TBonz.  Removing some of the foreground would be beneficial.  To me, the glacier doesn't really contrast with the water or the fog, so I personally would like to see the exposure on the glacier bumped up a bit, or perhaps just the shadows, but I definitely would want to keep the water to be as dark as it is, so I would recommend only applying the change to the glacier itself.  Nice shot!

Thanks for the replies, guys. To answer both of you, the scene was shot in color, and the buoy was kept in its actual color while the rest of the scene was converted to monochrome.

While editing, I had suggested removing the railing in the foreground. She actually wanted more of it, so we compromised with keeping some, helping to balance out the hotel on the right side of the image. Perhaps cropping more from the left would be fine as the buoy would end up balancing against the hotel, I suppose.

And yes, my wife was the one who shot this, and we edited it together. Thanks for the critique, and apologies for taking so long to reply.

I've made an edit to crop, and attached it to this post.  It removes the post in the foreground, and does seem a bit more pleasing.  I understand the desire to remove the building on the right, but part of the composition was supposed to be the hotel. I realize that with the buoy being the only thing in color in the image, it dominates, and becomes the main subject, but it felt wrong to remove the hotel.
