 2 Hours before submission deadline. Just got home from a hiking trip where i hiked for 2 hours in the dark up steep icy terrain to watch/photograph the sunrise over mount washington.

This is a self portrait (timer mode) of me sitting at the peak of mount Avalon in the crawford notch area of NH. It was quite a view.

Used a 3 stop GND filter to keep the sky exposure in check.

I feel as if this is more of an informal portrait than a landscape. Could use more contrast.

Just an opinion, but by my definition of a landscape it should not have a person as the center of interest.
