Hints on post processing!

He asked for it to 'look better'.

Unless my eyes are borked, I certainly don't see contrast and sky colours the same as your image, which is why I suggested that I didn't think that was your point.

Excuse me for 1 helping the op, and 2 - apologizing for sounding pompous in my opening post because not everyone has been taught how to do things correctly. My mistake!!!

"not been taught how to do things correctly".

You seem to think post processing is some mechanically automated task that is just part of the process that needs to be done. Tell me, then, why it's not totally automated?

Also as has been said, it's getting quite hilarious that you're making all these arguments, appealing to stuff like "no paid professional would disagree with me" when 1) literally every paid professional I know would disagree with you 2) the majority of the people you're arguing with here are paid professionals, myself included and 3) being paid has very little to do with knowing what you're talking about unless you're incredibly successful - until that point all being professional shows is that you chose to accept paid work

The only thing I can think of is you've been taught to post process for stock photography or photojournalism, and then extrapolated that that must be how it's all done for all genres of photography.

If you're finding yourself getting into arguments a lot then it's probably worth taking a look at how you go about positing your opinions rather than just saying "Oh god these people keep arguing with me and thinking stuff is subjective why am I here"

At altitude the snow will always have a much bluer colour (thinner air, stronger UV, bluer sky). Compacted snow and ice actually have a blue shade anyway
 
From Mr. CroniC's exapmle he clearly shows little talent for what he claims he can do better, which is very funny... his, bar the awful one with the added sun, is the worst by a mile. He clearly has less talent for light and colour, than those he critiques.

Indeed...snow will often appear blue for various reasons... as it not a solid, smooth surface, but has millions of facets, that add tiny pockets of shadow that reflect the indirect lighting from the sky, which in this case is also blue... to think snow is white, and that is that, is beyond stupid.

I did have a go myself in DXO Optics, just to see how it compared to the LR stuff, but I can't say mine offers anything different enough to bother posting it (and certainly not better).... interesting to try though, its a tricky subject, so a good exerciser for someone else just learning the ropes with RAW editing, which I am.
