    Hi Harold, lovely image. A comment and not a criticism if this is evening light I would expect the snow to be something other than sparkling white. Ken

    It's good and accepted practice in photography that you use the full dynamic range of the output medium. This means you always have to have full white (usually sparkling highlights) and full black (deep shadows) in the final image. If you derive too much from this standard your images will be regarded as 'dull' or 'too dark' by the average viewer. Exceptions are low- and high-key images.

    Furthermore, it's just what you like yourself how your images look, just saying.

    In evening light I would expect the snow to take on the colour of the western sky and show hints of colour. As to the brightness and using the full range of levels that is a matter of taste and I can think of many instances where using the full range leads to images that don't look natural eg misty images. In this case I would expect the snow to be very bright but having a distinct colour so not at 255. This of course is just my opinion. Ken
