An interesting and original view. I might bring out those fabulous clouds with some more contrast.

Nice! Every element funnels my eyes back to the brightly lit cliffs. At the same time, your choice of fg invites me to linger. Nicely done.

Very nice image Carey with an interesting POV leading me back into the scene. Maybe a little more contrast in the sky but great as is. Great job on this.

I love quiet snow scenes like this. Beautifully crafted.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Here is a bolder version. Let me know if you think its an improvement.

I prefer the darker sky, definitely. For me the image seems more tightly balanced and unified, tonally. The only thing I would do if it were me, would be to see if I could get slightly more detail in the very bright area which moves roughly vertically up through the cloud on the right hand side.

It is a very beautiful image!

Thanks for your suggestion Richard. I prefer the darker sky as well but me thinks I maybe went a little overboard on the clouds in the repost. Have to play around with this some more.

I think you nailed this baby with the repost, Carey. The added contrast adds to the mood nicely IMO.
