Thanks Gary for providing the beautiful song and to mr Fox for being the driving force behind this competition.
Congratulations to Henrik Hjortnaes and MOA22, I feel honored to be in top 3 with you guys.

For a prize, I would like to have the Acon Digital Restoriation Suite, too.
But if that’s not possible, I would like to have Tone2 Ultraspace.

Thanks GGermaine for considering my song for round 2, though I'm a bit sad I couldn't be here for it. It was a pleasure to work with these tracks, which were not lackluster at all for me.

I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on my mix. Congrats to the winners, see you in the next one!

Gary, thanks for the precise and detailed feedback and for providing this challenge. The song is a joy to listen to, no matter what mix.

Changes:
I made the pads louder and changed their automation completely, to add more atmosphere.
I changed the character of the pads to better fit the now increased level.
I added more spaciousness to the lead guitar by increasing the existing 4 sends I have going.
I changed the compressor on the lead vocal from Slate FG-Stress to EPI Arouser and gained a more "lively" midrange by doing so.
I added a little harmonic grit to the bass guitar to help it on small speakers.
I toned down the high treble on the distorted guitars, just a hair, to have them behave better when listening on headphones. Added a bit of midrange to them also.
I put the new Fuse tube limiter 864U on the mix bus, with zero gain reduction, to hear what it does (box tone), and I liked it and kept it. It seemed to clean up the low end, strengthen the center image and made the mix slightly clearer.

I'm sorry for not being able to reply sooner, though u kindly offered to share the project (but I don't have pro tools). amazing job. really, voodoo. congrats.
