This is a great photograph!
I love how the cloud forms a line from the right side middle of the frame to the top of the frame after going behind the mountain.
Could you provide some insight on the rework? How did it look before and what made you arrive at this edit? Some insight would be greatly appreciated!
I can post up the original if you wish once I'm home tonight.
Processing was largely done in silver efex. When I do mountain portraits like this, I have an idea in mind of chiseled, very defined mountain features with dreamy, almost flowing clouds and dramatic sky. The reality is I got very lucky to be at the right place and the right time as the clouds and light were changing incredibly quickly as the storm moved in.
Specifics regarding edits, I brush a lot of structure in on the mountain and try to extract as many tones out of the sky as I can by playing a bit with exposure level brushing that don't change the overall original too wildly (I'm not sure if I'm explaining that properly).
