More dramatic in terms of an more contrast (like an S-curve?)
Or local sculpting?
Natural lightening changes ... for example sunset is hard to do there as the mountains block virtually all light in the foreground ... I mostly did closeups of the Mountains with Alpenglow ...

Sorry, but way too dark!
I like the original as is.
Sorry, I am working on a machine at my workplace, where the monitor is not calibrated.
Here is a lighter version. Perhaps it's still too dark.
As I said, the sample I provided is a suggestion, and... exaggerated :)

RE EOT's gorgeous mountain scene: With others making suggestions about it I just couldn't help myself. It's such a great image. Tweaked curves and hue/sat then reduced the brown stains in the ice/snow (got it too pink) and added a corner-burning curves mask.

Thanks guys,
I guess I could punch up the contrast a bit,
I like what Kens version does with the sky...
but I won't sacrifice too much foreground detail ...
@Old-N-Feeble: how's your technique of getting rid of the stains?
Haven't been successful in my attempts...
Although they're not pee but stem from the icicles ...
But of couse the first thing that comes to mind is that they are ...
so I'm willing to let them go ;-)
Theres a more constrasty version
