There is no such thing as a "best lens for landscapes" it all depends on how much of the scene you want to include in the picture, sometimes a 10mm is best and other times it could be a 200mm.

If you had used a 24mm you would have got a slightly enlarged view of distant details but a more cropped foreground, you had a zoom lens so should just have used it at the 22mm setting if that is the effect you wanted.

It all comes down to giving more thought to the picture before you press the shutter button, something we can all suffer with at times especially when presented with an amazing scene as shown in your picture.
