And I'll bore you with my peeves some more. This one had some ugly halos around the mountain. Now, they could have been actual wisps of mist, but they looked too regular to me.

So I said, 'To hell with it,' and removed them. While at it, I also fixed the contrast and got rid of the guy in the yellow jacket. People quite often shoot other people in the foreground here - just do a search for 'Segla' and look at various examples - but I think it takes away from the size of the mountain, and makes it look like some rocky protrusion instead. Much better to contrast it to the settlement on the left to get the true sense of scale.
