"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Churchill

The mountains in the background look awesome, thanks for this posting !
Certainly took on the challenge of the environment, lighting et al and succeeded in presenting us with a rather pristeen image. Yeah, nicely done indeed.
Think, in my very humble opinion ... you might have been able to squeeze a bit more out of your visual offering here with a combination of Exposure and Shadow/Highlight adjustments, in addition to Levels.
That said with the prior knowledge of your post work gleaned from your replies to comments.
Having said that ... the sky is perfect. Depth is good ... really liking the presentation.

It's just a symbolic gesture between our people for a superb effort.
*gets hit in the head by a snow shovel*
Alllll part of the ritual ...
*passes out*

And that silliness aside, but of course ... thanks for sharing this one with us. Take a bow. :o)
