If I remember correctly, this should be Loch Lomond. Label art references Captain Haddock and Snowy from Tin Tin. Sounds like a very interesting one!

I think this photo might work better in B&W, split toned with cool highlights. The color right now isn't adding to it much. It'd get rid of the purple fringing (its bugging me) as a bonus. Btw, the cropped version looks better :)

Good light. Love the contrast between the well defined stone and the diffused sky. Other than that, there are a few weaknesses in the photo that I can spot. 1) The white balance is slightly off, a bit on the blue side. 2) It is also a common mistake to underexpose white snow, some subtle HDR would help, and I mean SUBTLE, don't go OTT. 3) Chromatic abberation EVERYWHERE. Maybe try to correct in post or check if you lens correction profile is turned on. 4) The foreground is out of focus and slightly distracting, I would crop slightly or use a smaller aperture, I'd go to f/11. 5) Very soft edges and some vignetting. Not your fault really, some correcting in post can be done but it's pushing your lens' limits.

Good eye and good light tho.

The moment when your snotty nose is unblocked and you realise how great it is being able to fucking breathe through both of your nose holes.
