C&C welcomed.

Looks like a lovely place to visit, but a tough scene to photograph. You managed quite well, although the image looks a bit "crunchy", with too much sharpening. If you locally burn down the hot spots and open up the shadows a bit more, the image would be even stronger.

Something dreamy about it; here also why don't post B&W and original for comparison?

Did you have to crop quite so tight at the top? Maybe there was a good reason

Otherwise, this looks good to me.

So beautiful; in the original i think green is a bit too saturated; i like the first one the best here

A nice composition. I agree with Geoff and Manfred: I think it would be even stronger if you left more space at the top, opened up the shadows, and toned down some hot spots.

I agree with Nandakumar about the greens. They seem highly oversaturated. Did you do the editing of the color before converting to B&W? I noticed in the monochromes that some of the greenery looks unusually bright, and I'm wondering whether that comes from saturating before converting.
