Always in search of the best light and of the most original angle, I “hunt” all the time the most beautiful places which surround me.

Very nicely composed! I really would like to be there right now. You have done a nice job capturing the depth and height of those peaks. Good cloud detail as well.
Enjoy!

March 21st, 2008 at 9:30 amThere is an unearthly quality about the photo… (Kind of sad that when something is as beautiful as this we think of it existing on another plane!) The composition of this is outstanding. Amazing depth of field taking us from the clouds and trees in the front, a mirror lake reflecting in the centre, all the way into the deep valley up the glacier. Magnifique! I too wish I was there! Superb! I thank you for blessing my day with this!
