After a storm, the last clouds cling to the mountain and the forest at the bottom of the rock face is lit by a few rays of sunshine.

Nice impressive shot here Morexp57, but I feel the snow looks a little grey and the mountain lack a little detail and emphasis. The light on the trees in the foreground is nice but outside of the lighten area it seems dull.
A nice composition but for me it lacks a bit of punch.

Thanks for the constructive critique Andy Smith. How do you think the image could be improved?
Play with the white balance for the snow? Increase the contrast on the mountain and lighten the trees in the shadows a bit?

try the white balance for the snow and maybe bring out the highlights in the mountain and trees more.

Thank you Andy Smith, I find you to be good advice. I have made a new version of this image which I like best. It looks like I need to spend more time editing my photos, it is worth it.

Incredible difference Morexp57, this image is a lot more interesting to look at.
Nicely done.
