Mountain in the Clouds.

Practice at editing landscapes never goes amiss, and there's a variety of problems that need to be tackled from time to time. This one's more cloudy than misty, and you may decide that it's not a problem at all - in fact you may think it's something that needs enhancing. Feel free to do whatever you think is best for this shot.

Changed to black and white, reversed horizontally, cropped, re-sized, distorted, dodged, burned and sharpened.

DNG processed. Sharpened using high pass filter method. Increased saturation. Brightened shadows using shadow/highlight control. Finally cropped. All the gray at the top doesn't add to the image.

It's funny - B&W doesn't usually occur to me straight away, but you've made it look like an obvious choice. That's usually a sign of something being done just right. Thanks for an excellent effort, SonyA580.

Fully agree about the excess sky, Ronwande. And it's nice to see a lightened version. Thanks for your effort.

Nice shot ... adjusted color a little.
Thanks, Dannac. That's a clever way to introduce some colour into the shot.

Great capture R.G.
I used Photoshop, Topaz and some Dodge and Burn to make the clouds and mountains stand out.

Thanks, Roadking. You've really given some depth to it. And a more forbidding atmosphere. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting, Joe. I see you've given it your usual vividness and trademark vivid sky. NASA will be wondering how we managed to come by images of the surface of Venus :) .

Your "something different" doesn't just grab my attention, it holds it as well. Thanks for your efforts, Dannac.
