dryness

[different viewer]

It might be too bright... but I was hoping to give it a deeper effect

It is rather bright. But I do like the "rays of sunshine" effect.

It is indeed a bit too bright. Moreover, shooting with the sun in the frame caused some flare (middle of the picture and on the right side) and this in turn considerably reduced the contrast. Putting the sun in the frame is tricky, particularly when it is so bright. I would try to find a composition where the sun or part of it is hidden behind one of those peaks on the right to try to minimize the amount of flare.
