I just liked the way that the clouds/lighting played across these slopes ... Wouldn't mind a little critique on what you think works/dzn't work ..

unless you were going for that look...there is to much blue in this image.
A quick color balance works well to fix it...and it actually brings out the colors better in the mountains.

The clouds should be white as well as the snow.

also in doing the correct color balance, the blue sky actually becomes a deeper blue...looks really nice.

The shot is a good shot...only a couple of blown spots on the snow...ya did well.

I like, I think the added "overexposure" or "glow" to the snow gives it appeal. It's cold but inviting. I guess my only issue with it is that your highlights on the snow dont match the clouds. Its like the light that is illuminating the snow is coming from a supernatural source. Naturally we expect to see it kissing the clouds as well given the direction of sunlight.

Agree with adding light to this one, it does look like a topaz or some glow was added, makes it possibly too soft? Pretty setting though.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Definitely a blue color cast which should be removed. It could be interesting if you focus on the single mountain peak. But as it is, the foreground is filled with a lot of bare trees that detract from the rest of the shot.
