Sure. I think it’s a better image and indeed I already tried that when you suggested it and preferred it as an image. It didn’t have the gloom of the lived experience; but I do prefer the version you suggest.
Impressive, but underexposed and incorrect white balance. Applying a levels correction in photoshop with the white eyedropper tools makes this so much better. It retains the blue in the waterfall but makes the snow white.
I'm confident the white balance was correct here. This was the observed coloration of the scene. It's a dilemma though to 'correct' the scene or to convey the experience of being there. I have achieved the latter I think, is it a worse photograph as a result of that choice? Perhaps.
