This was taken last winter in the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque. I increased contrast some and darkened the background a little. Cropped to a nearly square image. Comments and critiques are always welcomed.

Mike, great BG for this! I used to have relatives in Albuquerque, so I have hiked the Sandias a few times. East and West slopes are like two different worlds. Was this up on the east side?

A beautiful winter image, Mike. I like the lacy icy effect you have created.

This would make a great design for a holiday card.

The added contrast and background darkening really make this image pop!
