Landscape editing

This is the original image I took with my phone during hiking in Glencoe, up Scotland.

At first when editing this I wanted to try and use an effect that I picked up off of reading about Ansel Adams, a famous photographer. He used contrast on black and white to bring out the boldness and feeling in a photograph which gave me the inspiration to try it on mine. This was the outcome -

I turned the photo black and white then played with the contrast till I had the desired effect. I liked the outcome but felt it would do a lot better with color and after some playing around with it I came to the final photograph which is this -

I felt this was the best out of the lot because the color I added mixed with the contrast from before gave it it's own unique effect and very calm look.
