    HH from moving boat, slight crop to straighten and to move waterfall off center, luminosity mask, levels, curves and some of the actions Morkel recently posted.

    I really like this one, Rachel. You did well to retain great detail throughout...just enough FG ice to lead you into the scene, and nicely layered in thirds. The texture/detail in the rocks and snow is awesome, and the colours work well together...especially the 'cold' blues in the snow. Nothing I would change here. A strong image IMHO.

    (okay, perhaps in an ideal world where you weren't moving on a boat, being able to get a little more blur on the little waterfall would've been nice )

    Very nicely done Rachel. The waterfall is placed in the perfect spot. Love the rocks and the glacier too. Beautifully done!

    Rachel,

    I agree with the above but would add the following suggestions:

    1) Local Contrast enhancement using USM on a BG Copy at 20/50/0 and change to taste. This will enhance detail in the glacier and rocks and cut through the haziness.
    2) Sharpen it some more after the LCE.
