Hi Harshad,
I love the mountains and even though I prefer cold over warm.....still even cold for me! I like the diagonal line of the mountain range and the exposure looks pretty good. A few suggestions to explore are cropping out the tree on the left entirely and taking a bit off the bottom(small protrusions on right and then some off the top to keep the 2/3 proportions. This will further strengthen the comp IMO and just make a bit of improvememnt. Just FYI.....you have a dust bunny on the left.....which will be removed with the crop.....so check the sensor. I would beinterested to know if you could get in front of the tree grouping....as that may have even further strengthened the comp even more. Let me know!

I agree with Roman on the crop. I had the same problem with the tree on the left.

-40 C is the same as -40 F, per the calculator I used. That is the bottom area of where I come from as well. Not common, but -50 F is known to happen, when the sun stays away for a few days in January!

Like the photo, but not the weather. That's why we're in the sunshine state now, gettting ready to dodge the incoming hurricanes!!

Yes, definitely crop that left tree - and are those partial rocks at the bottom of the frame? I'd lose those as well.

Beautiful exposure on the snow/mountaintops. I find myself wishing you were further back so I could see the foreground leading up to these majestic beauties.
