Hi Christian.
Excellent landscape shot. Great perspective, brilliant colours, perfect composition and tremendous details. Bravo.
Alexei.

Hi Christian

You have done a super job here. Very nicely composed. Crisp, clear sharp shot. Very good quality. :-)

Hi Christian,
A great composition with good depth by having the rock in the f/g and the different layers of grass and gravel. The peak is well composed and the blue sky brings out the color of the gras and rocks perfectly. I do feel that you could have used a CP filter to control your exposure. The snow on the peak is too white and the top of the rocks have lost some details by the harsh sunlight.
TFS,
Niek

Hello Christian,
A beautiful scene, It reminds me very much of the Himalayas. A great shot, I think the boulders in the foreground add some scale, beautiful colours and exposure. The haze across the mountain adds atmosphere too, a lovely shot. Great result for no PP too.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Christian,
As usually a mountain is a majestic place and this on has even grass. Beautiful landscape with much interest. Perfect colors, compositon and sharpness.

Hi Christian,
Superb landscape picture. May be this is another evidence of global warming or greenhouse effect. Excellent pov and composition. The ridge on the right leads (our eyes)to the mountain peak. Very well done.

Well done mf

Bonjour Christian!
Very good landscape picture. Excellent composition with the inclusion of the rocks in the foreground and the majestic moutain the background. However, I think that it is a little overexposed. Because of the presence of darker than average elements troughout the frame the camera meter got fooled. Beautiful image, though, and it's gonna make my going to work this morning really hard (I'd rather go for a mountain hike, but some people have to work on Saturdays). Regards,
Mark

Hi Taz, your wonderful mountains. The boulders look quite rough and untidy. Do they break off and fall down from somewhere, or have they always been there? Very interesting.
The beautiful sunny sky and mountains remind me when we visited Courcheval and caught the cable car to the top of the mountains there. Another lovely sunny hot day! Good job my friend,
Janice

great submission here - the picture is really stunning and the detail excellent. I love the composition with the rock in the foreground, the path leading up to the mountain and the glacier(?) at the top. Really nice.

Bonjour Chrisitan !
Quel superbe paysage ! Les Alpes sont vraiment une région magnifique, probablement l'une des plus belles régions de France. Les couleurs, la composition, le POV, les détails, tout est parfait sur cette photo. Félicitations !
Valérie.

Another beautiful Alpine shot. Glorious scenery. Everything's very sharp considering a fairly wide aperture. Lovely blue sky, would have been even better with some fluffy clouds. I like to see the greenery in the foreground, I think the green stuff is the best part of the Alps, but I find the rocks in the foreground a little distracting.

Taz, wonderful capture mf. Strong composition and what a breathtaking scene you give us. Your alps are like a piece of heaven, I shall return hopefully one day soon. Very well done.

Merci Christian pour cette magnifique photo qui me fait évoquer quelques paysages semblables, vus ou «piétinés» lors de voyage par chez-vous ou en Suisse. Nous nous sentons tellement petits devant de telles masses.
Merci.

Hello Christian,
phantastic scenery, presented in an excellent way!
Fresh, clear and sharp, and perfectly well composed.
Great feeling of silence and fresh air.
Alpine summer at its best!
Thank you! Best regards,

Hello Christian,
A beautiful image from this mountain area!
I like your point of view, with good foreground interest and good lines...
Good natural colours and fine details, the big rocks in front add interest value!
Greetings,

Bonjour Christian,
vraiment magnifique cette photo de la grande casse avec cette moraine impressionnante au premier plan. J'aimerai tellement aller me balader par là bas! Nos Alpes sont quand même riches en beau paysages.
Merci,
Arnaud.
