Aiguille de Bionnassay

Personally, I think grain diminishes images of this type. I'd rather be wowed by fine detail.

I have never been a fan of grain, I believe the image would much more exciting with less emphasis on the grain.

I'm going to respectfully disagree. I think the grain is an interesting choice here, but would work better on a day with more clouds in the sky. I like the tones within the snow, and the the snow blowing off the mountain. I'm just not sure it's working as well in the sky. Keep it up!
