Fantastic shot Tim. I was there yesterday too, with my Nikon d810+ Nikon 500mm f/4 G VR and my Sony a7 + the FE 70-200 f/4. The pictures below were shot with the Sony combo.
Here are a few more from my friend, JR Ray, taken with his new a7RII, a day after purchase of his first UWA lens, the FE 16-35/4. He's been getting a crash course from me in preparation for an upcoming vacation to Japan. Good student, especially considering he only bought the camera around a month ago.
Jannik, "Frosty Branches" looks great. It's hard to achieve that wide-open look because LCA is really obvious with all that ice sparkling in the sun. The Samyang is quite an optic.

Yes, that's the nearly unique (APO Sonnar 2/135 is there too) quality of that lens If you look at the full size sample on flickr, the bokeh of the lens suffers somewhat in that situation. But I bet, other lenses wouldn't have done the shot in that quality anyway.
Photo taken at 11:06 PM on August 12, 2015 of the night sky looking across Big Meadows, Shenandoah National National Park, Virginia during the Perseid Meteor Shower. Image taken with my tripod mounted A7r and my Leica M WATE (Wide Angle Tri Elmar) f4 lens set to 16mm, ISO 3200, lens set to f4 for 15 seconds, exposure adjusted by +1.67 stops. Processed in LR6.
Thanks everyone for the "likes". It's nice to be able to give back a little mentoring to help a new enthusiast!
Last year, he had bought my old Nikon D200 and 28-85 lens to dip his toe into "serious" photography. He never took to that camera, but fell in love immediately with the Sony a7RII.
The 16-35 was one of my first recommendations for his trip, the other being the 55/1.8. I'm happy to say that JR bought both, along with the 24-240 (he couldn't resist, despite my caveats ), as an all-around lens with extra reach.
