Is it a tad reddish, or was the light actually like that? I find colours can sometimes shift a little when photos are uploaded to social media. Either way, nice work — thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I Actually the lighting was kind of reddish but maybe I overdid the color grading a bit

Think you amplified the red a little too much. Technique is good. A little more golden imo

You eliminated a cloud but didn't eliminate the huge sensor spot in the middle of frame?

Those things are so sneaky. Every time you think you’ve gotten em all, there’s a new one somehow

I don’t think he removed a cloud but rather cropped in?

Edit: maybe he did

I just cropped the picture, didn’t remove a cloud

I too believe that it was the crop that eliminated the cloud. But as soon as he posted this thread, he noticed the sensor dirt spot and eliminated it.

Two things jump out at me. The sky is cyan which is not a natural sky color. If you intended that it’s fine, but most people new to processing don’t notice this.

Second, you’ve pushed the whites up, and this draws the eye to the snow on the right edge of the frame (the eye is typically drawn to the brightest part of the image). If you want the viewer drawn to the peak, you’ll need to use masking to selectively accentuate the peak and minimize the brightness on the right.

Thank you for the tips, I tried to do a masking and minimize the brightness of the snow field
