Not really a landscape but you can imagine there is one beneath the snow ;D

interesting.
just a thought - straight B&W ?
blow out the midtones and take to black or white ?

+1 to degrub's idea about going b/w

Actually, it is B&W with a 15% cooling filter applied. I've gone back and forth in my own mind and without the filter the image was just too warm to my eye. I understand your suggestions; midtones were pushed right to the edge, but maybe the cooling filter is still too much even at 15% while maintaining luminosity, IDK. I have a snow "series" from my trip and when it is complete, I will look at all the images and select a uniform toning. Thanks much.
