alas, we have no snow yet like the CO folks, but hey, at least I've got a fridge that looks like this.

thoughts on a processing trick? I composed this to try to use the person to convey scale, and also shot the frame when he was trying to assess the route. I didn't get enough contrast and isolation of the human form though - not enough clean background, so I tried another trick. pulled down the saturation on most of the colors except for the blue jacket, to bring back some really strong contrast. I think it kind of works ... just trying to figure out how to compose better for next time. (btw, it was a damn fun, and puckering at times, climb)

Bit hazy yesterday and I blow at landscapes, but cool clouds and a bit of sun

All you fuckers with enough snow for skiing without hiking hours for it are making me jealous.
Snow level down to 2500' later this week though...
