I like the vocal presentation here -- drier than the one on my Mix Rescue mix, but better for it, in my view, especially in the current market. Lots of good balancing decisions elsewhere too, although (as with some other mixes I've heard of this song) a bit too heavy on the pads for my taste -- the danger is that you bland out all the details of the rest of the instruments if the pad's too high in level.
The solo guitar is also nicely manage, although perhaps a bit too loud compared with the vocal for me. I reckon it come back at least a decibel.
Your effects are suitably expansive, which is perfectly in keeping with this song, but I don wonder whether you're letting a bit too much low-end into the reverb (and indeed the pads), because things don't seem quite a clear in that region of the spectrum as I'd like.
