    Matt, if you can, please add some orange reflection here and there in the snow....as of now there is a feeling of mismatch between sky and snow...

    Actually, the capture you have looks realistic, Matt. While the setting sun can throw a warm colour cast on the snow, the blue sky will have a greater impact and and the shadow areas will reflect it and have a cool blue colour cast.

    The sun is very low in the sky, so much of the direct light from it is blocked by the hill in the background. This is exactly what you show here.

    Very nicely done, snow colour look good, as one coming from the land of ice and snow. To me what looks like footprints on each side of the rock (foreground) take away from a great image.

    Its a pretty accurate reflection (no pun intended) of how I seen it Nandakumar. I did try adding a bit of warmth to the snow but it just didn't look right for me.

    Beautiful image Matt The burning sky looks so powerful that it competes with the snow, but this is mother nature who puts things together

    Yes Matt much better, to my eye it just took away from the image.

    Thanks Binnur, although the sky was burning, I didn't feel any heat from it!

    Lovely. You have brought out the colour in the rocks very well. Could you put your watermark bottom left where it isn't so distracting ?
