Hi Jesse
Thanks for your comments, I have no issue with anyone disagreeing with me, happens all the time!
Whilst I appreciate what you're saying, I would never do that amount of work or put that effort in to any image ever! It's not a bad composition and I do like the shapes and the mountain in the distance, but I didn't have time there so it was basically a grab shot as I was passing. If I had longer, then I would have done better to capture it in good light, probably also used a different focal length to bring the background closer but ultimately, you can't polish a turd as is often said!
So I appreciate what you're saying but it is what it is and I don't like trying to drag it in to being something it's not, it's an ok image and if I want it to be better then I have to work harder at capturing it when it looks better, maybe even in blue hour would have worked, darker skies but glowing white mountains and snow would have been nice.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to offer your opinion!
