Lovely.

The contrast AND the gradation are excellent. How do you process these?

And all that snow with no blown highlights!

Very beautiful pics.

Quite dramatic, and a couple of them could go up on walls.

Thanks, Bharat,Nishit, Thad E G and Ashutosh for your nice words  :)
Bharat-These were captured on Pentax K5ll and basic processing was done with Nik's Silver Effex Pro plugin. During my analog days I used to do a good deal of b/w, experimented with Ansel's Zone system, Parry Yob's YOB system and Glen Fishback's Fishback system. All this helps in digital too. I have been a hobbyst all through and today at 78 continue to enjoy it a lot  :)
