Thank for all the comment. As for Shooting Snow Shots First may sure that the sun in not shining on the snow don't shoot into the sun. What works best for me is to shoot with the sun to my back.
As for Editing I started with this
Then adjusted levels which gave me this
Then Unsharp Mask With Treshold 0 Amount 3 Radius 2
Neat Image
Unsharp Mask again with the same settings
Adjusted Bright & Constrast
Which give me the final photo
Thanks so much I hope this will help you in the future.
umm 126 if inverted counts.......Great shot fits the challenge well. Nice crisp image with lovely shadows and colors. I do feel however that there is too much sky. I think I would have like a little more cropped off the top. Nice job.
breathtaking. Id love to know how you got it so crisp (took snow pics on a holiday last year, and came out a bit bright even tho used the 'snow' feature on my camera) What sort of post-processing didja do?
Would really appreciate the help. Great job on the pic.
