Another nice widescreen mix here, uzilevi, with lots of airy details and a great sense of blend and ambience. The vocal balancing is pretty solid too, without that printed-in reverb really causing problems, and you've done a good job of evening out the bass track as well.
Is it possible you might have overcooked the mix's top octave -- it feels a touch crispy to me overall. I'd be tempted to rein in the overheads in that area in particularly, as they seem rather too upfront to me at the moment. I also wonder whether there's actually space for a bit more piano warmth in there. I like the way you're willing to be ruthless about EQing for masking-reduction, but in that particular case I think you could maybe afford to shave a little less close!
The snare resonance I mentioned in the 'About This Multitrack' sticky feels like it's a bit too prominent at points (its level is by no means consistent in the raw track, of course), for example during the guitar solo at 1:27 and during the following "sail on" section -- it just seems to clash with the harmony rather uncomfortably for me. If you think it matters, then it should be easy to duck out with an EQ notch with negligible side-effects on the overall snare tone.
