Comment. Seems a bit overexposed to me... It's hard to see any texture in the sun-lit snow. I didn't measure it so I can't be sure it's literally blown, but it must be close. Diliff (talk) 14:29, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- The texture of the snow is only visible when the snow is horizontal and not inclined territory Firn hours and the sun hits aside, this is due to the soft nature of the snow makes a smooth surface when it is tilted with the wind goes through the mountains this creates a smooth surface that reflects sunlight very well generate a white color. Most of the people who frequented these places use special lenses for sun protection due to sunlight bouncing on the surface of the snow. --The Photographer (talk) 15:55, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- I understand that snow is reflective and therefore people use googles and glasses to protect their eyes, but good photography of snow should still show some texture - not overexposed (if anything, a photo in the snow is usually underexposed because the camera will meter the snow as a grey). But snow is rarely a smooth surface with no texture. There is often (at close range) some crystalline texture to it (like this) or wavy and undulating (like this). This does look like very fresh powder snow so I understand there won't be as much texture as in the examples below, but ultimately I still think it's slightly overexposed.

- There are differents types of snow, this example, this snow has virtually no texture. I am the red guy :)--The Photographer (talk) 16:55, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, but in that photo, there is still some texture and the snow isn't overexposed! ;-) Diliff (talk) 17:34, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- Because this photo was taken in sunset --The Photographer (talk) 19:09, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
