That's a beautiful edit. As I was comparing the before and after, one thought kept reoccurring: "Boy, I really have no idea how to take a picture."
Your edit could easily be in an advertisement. The snow-covered mountain in the background, nice touch.
Of course, all this is coming from a guy who doesn't know how to take a picture ... so...
I describe myself as "a guy who takes pictures". lol I'm not a photographer at all. Especially this one. It's from 6 years ago now and I've learned a lot since then. I was full blown point-and-shoot at that time.
