This is a View from the 'refuge du couvercle ' 2700 m towards the " mont blanc" in a very inspiring atmosphere .

The clouds were moving very fast ... At this moment I felt it was an interesting composition with all the clouds embracing the scene .. and creating a very dramatic light on the "devil's peak on the left.

Oh yah, this is a good one!
Powerful light and moody clouds make this peak pic shine.
Nice job with the long lens.

Very Nice! I love the mood that this image conveys. My only nit would have to be the hot spots in the upper right hand clouds and the upper right snowy slope. Nonetheless, a wonderful shot!

Absolutely incredible Alexandre. Such a moody shot with the interplay of light, shadow and cloud. It has its own light within which I try to include in my own work. Very well done!!

Beautiful! Love the dark setting, close composition, and strong contrast between the lights and darks.
