Mountain Vista, Denali National park

Took a brief hike down the Mountain Vista Trail in Denali National Park back in March.  Finally took the time to revisit this shot.

I reckon that sentences not having subjects is old hat. I suppose that I do it myself at times, but my high school English teacher would not be pleased!

As for the photo - I don't see the point. The scene is ordinary, the mountains are washed out, and the sky is almost 100% white.

And....  welcome to Lula OP .

Honestly I like the shot.  Pleasing mix of blues and whites - I can imagine standing in that spot with that view and understand why you felt compelled to capture it, even if it's not a world-beater as a piece of art.

Well,.. I can almost see me striding towards that distant track to gain more altitude.

Where I am, geographically,... I miss this view very much

thanks for posting

I actually like the photo, it has a lightness to it that conveys the light and crisp mountain air.

And there is no way that the sky is almost 100% white, far from it...

I like it. It feels expansive & wintry. I also like the way it's stylised into overlying flat planes.

I opened the image in PS & took a lot of the saturation out of the blues / purples & added a bit of midtone contrast. I think you should try that.

It's a nice scene but I'd love to see it with a more interesting sky.

Or with this capture it might work well in mono with a wider crop like 1x3 pano style.

Appreciate the feedback everyone!
