I thought about tweaking this shot and making it more colorful and less realistic but I couldn't do it. This shot was taken at almost 12,000 feet above sea level. Its 49 degrees with winds blowing at 30mph with gusts up to 45. The rain was coming down hard and if it had been a little cooler it would have snowed. The sky was overcast and it looks dull but I wanted it that way. I want people who see this shot to feel the cold of the environment and the warmth of the subjects in the photo without heavy photoshop tricks to make it something it isn't. I believe that photo shop has a purpose and I applaud those who use it to their advantage but I prefer to leave my shots unmolested. Enjoy.
