Beautiful view. I've only been there in the summer so it's quite nice to see winter photos. I'd be curious to see an unprocessed version?

This is the unprocessed version, just exported the raw image as a small jpeg.  I've added a fair bit of contrast to it and some Structure in Nik efex...I also added silver efex and then reduced the opacity to 30%

Cool, the processing makes a lot of sense. The added texture brings it to life while retaining the right mood. Well done!

thanks - I try to add something, rather than over-bake.  It's easy to overstep the mark.  Something every photographer does at least once in their life...
