Her blue seems to bring out the fact that distant mountains usually look blue. Perhaps the original photographer knows what the scene looked like when he/she took the picture and unconsciously brings out that color scheme when editing.

I don’t know if Pass Gallery lets you have a personalized website, but I liked that Pixieset does.

I set up a free account with Pass Gallery before I was told about Pixieset, so if I run out of gallery space in my Pixieset gallery, I always have the option to upload to my Pass Gallery website.
