Sure. I think it’s a better image and indeed I already tried that when you suggested it and preferred it as an image. It didn’t have the gloom of the lived experience; but I do prefer the version you suggest.

I'm confident the white balance was correct here. This was the observed coloration of the scene. It's a dilemma though to 'correct' the scene or to convey the experience of being there. I have achieved the latter I think, is it a worse photograph as a result of that choice? Perhaps.


Not the intention to start a discussion here. It is your image, your memory and your choice. But just to illustrate what I meant, I have done a quick edit and loaded a before and after, here

Looks almost cinematic. Bleak. I like it.

I like the determination of the man to deal with all the ice - quite chilling ( and nice)
Bump
