This image reminds me of my favorite treat growing up...the most wonderful vanilla and orange popsicle.
Image shot very near Cameron Pass was of the backside of Nokhu Crags.

What I appreciate here well beyond the comp and color is the mid tone exposure that feels great to my eye. You're working the handblending, especially in exposure which is critical to the process. That cloud is a tough one! I think color is the next test. Your whites seems a bit too washed out or greyish-green. The cloud seems too orange. White balance blending might work here.

Good eye, Kane. I appreciate the observation. I tinkered a bit with white balance and came up with this image. The improvement came from lowering the yellow cast.

Hi Ken, I like the repost better, especially in the shadows and sky color. That bright spot looks about borderline blown out now. Again, that damn cloud is probably just too distracting. Ive been out many times where the clouds are just poppin with color, and later I have trouble processing the image. This one would fit into that category.

Ken, my thoughts/tastes would prefer the image a little brighter and with less blue saturation in the snow. I like how the cloud color is reflected by the snowy peak

I like this pretty much as is (after the repost), Ken. The snow is naturally reflecting the blue skies. Nice capture!
