On a chilly January morning, i set off with a group of friends to hike up on of the Canadian Rocky peaks just outside of the infamous Banff National Park.
It is a popular day hike trail, however, being in the thick of winter and starting way before sunrise makes for a secluded experience throughout the trail.
Unfortunately being with a group it took longer than normal to reach the peak. We could see the sunlight intensifying as we ascended and it became an overcast weather very quickly.
While taking the views and battling the strong wind gusts a small gap opened up in the clouds. I looked back at the mountain’s saddle and i captured this scene of the adjacent peak with the sunlight piercing through the clouds behind it.
It was an amazing feeling ti say the least and a good reminder ti leave expectations behind while enjoying the natural world.
Specific Feedback Requested
I sat on this picture for just about two years. I attempted to edit it two times before every time I started from scratch and i still was not happy. Not sure why
I wonder if it is the colors (the raw had an awful blue cast) i was shooting with daylight balance as i always do and because it was overcast it was crazy blue.
How is the balance and contrast of the overall scene?
