Ben Lomond - from Duncryne, Gartocharn, Scotland 14-02-16
An exposure nightmare, this one.
I'd decided that the preservation of most of the snow detail was paramount; but you can clearly see the drawbacks elsewhere.
I'm pretty sure there's all sorts of ways of dealing with huge variances in light, these days; unfortunately, I'm downright enept at getting my head round Photoshop & the like, & I've sparingly used the dodging feature on Elements without 'pushing' it so far as to produce a rash of noise.
I'm naturally wary of excessive darkness when there's clearly sunlight involved, so I'm not sure whether this is just a downright mess or not. It needs a fresh pair of eyes on it for an objective assessment, I think. Permission to speak freely!
