I hope I won't be disqualified, because this is almost SOOC. No Photoshop, no extended editing. I thought this might gather a few votes in the Extended Editing challenge, because the photograph certainly looks unreal.

You are entitled to your artistic sense. In voting I loved it, puny mountains at all, And now I love it too even though it doesn't fully show on my screen at once.
After seeing how DPC displays small 1200px photographs on my huge 32" 4K monitor I am also very curious why I did that :/ I can't understand why I have to scroll down a 1200px picture on a 4K monitor, I need to zoom out the web browser to 50% on DPC to be able to view photos without scrolling.
But when the picture is fully visible in one go, I did prefer to crop it like this, call it artistic intent :) But you are right, it definitely would have looked better without all this negative space - in the context of DPC viewing. Thank you for the comment :)
