Magnificent, great choice of focal length!

Perhaps a smidge more sky above the summit would be nice as that feels a little constrained to me.

Cheers
Mike

smidge more sky works for hills yes but when you are in the presence of a awe inspiring mountain such as looking towards Mt Cook at the terminus of the Hooker Glacier there is no sense of constraint when the mountain swallows the sky, there is a sense of the magnificence of nature and just how insignificant we are. (despite the huge impact we have just look at what avarice from the dairy industry in NZ has done to once pristine waterways in North and South Island).

Thank you, I did have more at both top and bottom of the image, but I wanted to present in the 16:9 format.

Thus providing three separate diagonal bands (equal in size but of different colourways) to aid the composition.

As a few have mentioned... I have put up the more sky version up for your delectation.

Oh there doesn't seem to be a way to update the original posted image...
