Spectacular spot, Sandro. I wonder how 2 would look with a bit of processing to highlight the foreground.

The lofty peaks convey a good sense of the massive height of the Mont Blanc range, not an easy task.

Now you mention it, the massive might be easier to appreciate if there was a person in the photo.

As-is the wide-angles push the peaks into the distance, and make a third of the photo about foreground boulders of indeterminate size.

I agree, the wide angle can be dangerous in the mountains, it can invert the ontological values .

Already done! But maybe not enough....
Thank you much and all the best,Sandro

very interesting, as from Isaac.
I find very different perspectives in the 2 images, and I agree with your suggestions.
Maybe the chaos of the incumbent rocks near the poit of view could be stronger with ultra-wide....but this is payed with less presence of mountains.
All the best,

I've never been very successful of shooting shots of a mountain, when on a mountain, unless I'm at the top of the mountain, or there's enough distance perhaps with some foreground action like interesting bushes or trees, or maybe wildlife.  These shots don't capture the majesty for me.
