Stitched from 5 shots. Very little processing except for usharp with PSE. Any suggestion for further PP work. CC is very much welcome. Thanks for viewing.

Huge foreground,although well exposed with a plain sky makes it difficult to appreciate the scene,the fence as a leading line works to take the eye towards the back of the image

Cool image. Is there any way, in a stitched construction such as this, for you to straighten the perspective to eliminate the leaning it at the edges (as seen on L more than R)?

Thanks for the very useful review. I do have the same dilemma regarding the foreground which appears rather plain and uninteresting. Perhaps I should have shot in landscape position instead of portrait or perhaps this is the typical difficulty of shooting snow.
Regarding the leanings at the left edge, I have attempted a distortion correction with PSE. This was my first attempt at such correction so I was extra careful not over doing it. This may have been because tripod not being completely horizontal.
