Jean,
It is hard to tell on my monitor...is there detail in the brush to the left on the image?  It looks blocked up and too dark but it certainly can be the web and my monitor working to drive your grades down...

Thoughts...?

Two items...

1) You might want to raise the curve in the zone I -II area.  Just enough to open the shadows and yet not destroy the contrast of the overall image.

2) In the lake ther is a mysteriuos dark blue patch that might need some mask adjustment to make it go away.  You might have to move the curve on the Mask to the left or right to see if you can adjust the patch out of the mask.  You could also paint on the mask if you make it a layer mask instead of just using CM.  The way to move it right or left is to select the end points by Ctrl-clicking on each one so you have them linked like a contrast pin and then using the left or right arrow keys to slide the entire curve to the left or right.

If you want to copy the mask to a layer mask in PS or PSE that would make it a bit easier to remove the blue blob...

Yes

What is bugging me from the beginning is the horizontal gray bar on top of the mountains.

That is a haze layer in the clouds.  You can minimize it a bit in the L channel.  But it never truely goes away.

I cant copy the mask in the clipboard.

If I show the mask and do Ctrl+C, it does not work.

well I like the lab sky better but I'm going to guess that you did at least 1 in CMYK...obviously....the other might be a lab pass it is hard to tell...
