I've just come back from a couple weeks climbing in the Alps and I've taken a photo that I'd like to frame on my wall. I was wondering if anyone fancied doing me a favour and processing it for me or giving me some hints on how to make it look better!

Here is the original..

And here is my attempt at processing it..

I can supply the RAW if anyone fancies a go? :)

It was from the ridge at the Gouter Hut looking towards the Midi Station. We wanted to do the Three Monts but conditions weren't in so we did the route up from the Gouter Hut instead. We had to delay for a day because of an insane amount of snow on the Monday which meant we couldn't get up from Tete Rousse safely. It wasn't the most interesting route we did all week but it's good to have ticked the Mont Blanc box off.. It means I don't have to do it again and can concentrate on some more technical routes!

With my limited photography knowledge I tried to under expose it slightly so as not to have any blown out parts. I only started learning how to use my camera properly last year and now have about 300 or so to go through from the last couple weeks!
 
Wow, thanks for all the edits! How did you make the whites stand out so clearly amongst the blacks on the last one?

I had problems with the horizon too.. I couldn't decide if it was straight or not and every time I looked at it again it looked wonky after I'd changed it!
 
That looks amazing! A lot better than my attempt (all were better than my attempt).. I am a total beginner at Lightroom though, not long started using it. Would you be able to send me a hi res copy to print please? :)

My final version ended up like..
