The home of the Iceman that followed me into the valley (and stayed for 2 weeks).
Since I was concentrating on the rock and snow, I had a severe tilt to correct after, which necessitated cloning in some sky, otherwise the ensuing crop would have decapitated the mountain. I also upped the saturation a little to bring out the contrasting colors of the rock.
Here is another "lie on your belly in the wet snow" view from a different point on the lake shore on TE - that picture was nice and straight, so less ps work needed.

I think I may prefer the snow viewed at a distance thanks Otto. An excellent POV, good colour and remarkable detail in the snow. TFS,
David

Hello Otto,
I see the landscape is still marked by the winter!
But the fine light gives promise for a change in seasons...
I like the composition with the big rock in front to frame and create depth in the image...
Greetings,

HI Otto
This depicts well our never ending winters.
The sharpness of the melting snow you can almost feel the crunch. Very lovely composition with those mountains in the background very sharp against that deep blue.
Nice work, worth getting on all fours.
