I came across this photo from my birthday in May 2013. I had overlooked it before and decided a monochrome treatment would work best.
On this day the snow squalls would come in and create a whiteout, blow around for a while and then it would be sunny again. We tried to time the downhill ski portions of the tour with the sun and climb during the snow. It was a great day of skiing and climbing, my favorite way to spend a birthday! (x-post)

that is amazing, great work, cheers

A really nice picture. This is an HDR and that just barely visible (color a bit too much vibrant maybe) but theses colors are really nice and pleasy! Great work.

The framing is good, there just one little thing maybe to think if possible (maybe to reframe too?) the horizon is a bit too much in the middle here. That would be the only minor issue to be seen!

Yep, like Nicolas said, move the horizon down to the lower third, and also straighten it and you'll have an absolutely killer photo

Thanks for the C&C, I appreciate it.

Luckily the other Sunday was something of a 'spray and pray' expedition and I did shoot off a few exposures with the horizon not in the middle. Finally had time to process and a little wider looking is this one:

Thank you (I guess you were referring to my photo).

A Black and White (I thought the grittier feel fit the setting better than the color version).
