Vous avez pris de la hauteur pour prendre cette photo! Il s'agit d'une autre vue superbe des montagnes suisses et ici, j'aime bien l'alignement des sommets de l'avant plan. bien vu!

This is an interesting composition in that you did not include any sky. The diagonal you created with those peaks in the center of your composition really holds your eye. Well done.
