A beautifully original take on this view.

Thanks Robert. Pretty happy with it. The diffuse light definitely helped..

Again another image that might be more impressive in B&W?

Unsullied sumptuous snow in the foreground .. did you need a snowplough to get up the hill :)

Sean - I can see that but I think on balance I prefer the cool blue tones, as it feels truer to the mood and feel of the day.
John - the snow in depressions like this was waist deep in places. Luckily I was coming down from the summit at this point or else I might have walked through this scene before spotting it.
