Mount Fuji, a photo from Kanagawa, Kanto

Photographer's Note

I shot this photograph of Mount Fuji from the 69th floor of the Landmarktower in Yokohama in the late afternoon. The low position of the sun casted nice shadows and gave the buildings and the mountain depth. At this time of the year, Mount Fuji is closed for mountaineers due to lots of snow on top.

Post editing workflow:
Main challenge was to remove the terrible sun light reflections in the window, which revealed also some dirt on the window, as well as the reflections from the interior. This was the hardest part. Otherwise, increased the sharpness a bit, enhanced the colours in the foreground (warmer) and in the background (colder).

A fascinating scene, Alfons. It's familiar, yet this capture is somehow different. Superb sharpness below, with lots of great details...and then that magical mountain above. Terrific picture!
