Assuming the gradient banding of the fog is a stylistic choice, it looks neat!

Thank you, it is! I used Posterization in the compositor to get the image to be a bit more crunchy. It's not really noticable except for the valley fog, So I understand if it may be a bit out of place.
Comparing to no Posterization at all, though:

I find the effect to be quite nice.
Now that I see the version without the gradient banding, I agree that it's better with it. Makes it look more retro.
the castle; the textures in the image 😍 Cool!
