A mini exercise... my goal was to find something interesting in a dull photo. Before/after versions are linked... Thanks!

I think you found the more interesting scene lurking at closer to a 70mm focal length within your original 24mm focal length choice. It appears cropping in so much has necessitated some extensive processing which is a shame as now we see an image rather than a photo. Composition wise I like your crop very much.

I completely agree w/MA here!
The processed composition is considerably stronger than the original imo.

Thank you for the input Marko :)
I have read somewhere that a telephoto is usually better for mountain scenes than a uwa... lesson learned!
