Good composition, this house is place in a hot point, the montains in the back, the lake and those rock give 3D effect to this picture. Very nice

Beautiful panorama, almost like a painting. I would have tried to enhance the volume of the clouds by using a little bit more of polarizer effect. Anyway, nice work! I could not resist the temptation of posting a B/W version of your shot… hope you’ll like it!

Wow! a shot where we can actually see that earth is round. What a view they can have from the house up there and the shape of the lake is beautiful. I like the contrast of the very sharp portion of the higher level against the hazy "down below" section.

Good composition, this house is place in a hot point, the montains in the back, the lake and those rock give good effect to this picture. Soft colours. Very nice.

HOLY MOLY! What a view! Really great photo, lots of depth, and pretty sharp too. The alps is definitely on my list of places to visit!

Hi Geof,
Love this Alpine shot. I too am not crazy about heights and congrats to you for such a physical effort to get this superb photo.
