This photo was taken on very bright sunny day with 135mm focal length. So I tried pretty hard to adjust colors and sharpness.
What do you think?

As a complete rookie in raw-processing, I whould be glad to hear some advices on ways to improve this picture

Thank you.

Here's my version, just a quick tweak (30 seconds no more I promise) to shadows, clarity, sharpening, a bit of colour to the sky and slight crop to get the two elements of truck and people onto the thirds.

Is this what you had in mind?

Thanks Kerrowdown,

but as for me it looks now a little bit oversharped. And the sky color is great)

Aye you could well be right, but as I said this was only a quick tweak on a jpeg file, which is not something I usually do.

But I wanted to show you the potential that your image has, if you wanted to take your time with it.

My suggestions are that it needs to be cropped, Kerrowdown's is good, but personally I'd crop higher (less ground, more sky)

To me the large amount of ground distracts from the subjects (truck and people), where the sky being a far greater contrast to them helps to frame them.
I also find that a more sky inclusive crop would give the illusion of the peaks being taller and more remote.



As for exposure, the people are a little washed out, but to be honest you've done about as well as you can with a difficult lighting situation like that (backlit and far away)

I'd probably go either way with it, try brightening it a little and see how that goes, if not it may work better to darken, add contrast and go for an almost silhouette look.

Thank you, friends. You gave me some insigts to think about.

Idea to make a high-cotrast sihouette seems nice, I wiil try.
