I originally was asking for some help in https://discuss.pixls.us/t/how-to-reduce-color-noise-because-of-color-zone-module/ but I think it could be a good idea to see what other persons could get out of it.

Here’s my take with Filmulator:

Great photo @hardywang, you have nailed the exposure! Here is GIMP 2.12 version (with RT as default raw editor). Essential editing is with RT. Just made the snow whiter and increased the contrast using GIMP.

My attempt at this. The problem is that it seems to have two centres of interest - the monastery and the mountain and I can,t decide how to emphasize one at the expense of the other.
