... strange one, isn't it ?

This is "Kitzsteinhorn" with all the ski-runs on it's glacier...
The photograph is done from a frozen lake near "Zell am See".

I love the framing and the quality of detail (and the gorgeous landscape) but I feel that the greys and mostly the contrast would require a different balance to my taste, even at the cost of sacrificing some detail in the shadows if necessary.

@Orio
Yes, I understand perfectly what you mean. I didn't dare to give even more contrast to the grays, because in the original RAW there was just only haze and I tried already to bing out as much deatail and contrast as the RAW had to offer.
I will try to do a different version ...

@Patrickh
Yes there were many balloons in the air that day.


It's quite amazing how, due all the haze in the sky, the Takumar could render still lots of detail. One can see even peaple skiing on the ski-run.
This lens always impresses me again.


This is a 100% crop:

Totally spectacular! You live in a beautful area, and I too am impressed at how the lens "cut" through the haze.
