Morexp57 , I prefer the first photo. More exposure, the second one is a bit darker for my eyes .
Yes, I agree with you. I also prefer the brighter version. What I like about the darker version is the light at the top left, which illuminates the snow in a very soft way with bluish tones. And also the small light in the middle of the mountain range, which is visible as in reality. I don't know what this light is... Maybe a refuge or a hut of the Swiss Alpine Club.hi
To highlight the top of mountain, you could increase whiteness, highlighting, and a bit of exposure, and drop down the black . I believe this way, you will have everything from top more white .
Yes. I can try different settings. I really like to play with the possibilities that photo editing programs offer these days.
