At 3400m/11500ft in the french Alps, the "Table" is a massive slab of

stone which peeled off the Aiguille du Tour, and fell in equilibrium,

there in the middle of the picture. It is a little photographed place

and I wanted to have a shot of it. The early morning light was not

very cooperative in direction and intensity and I decided for a

massive silohuette against the glacier... Is it too massive?

Amazing. perfect composition. I think this is the best. If the foreground were "properly" lit, the photo would lose it's entire effect.

Salvatore, I like your mountaineering pictures and this one is a particularly great shot with the dark forground rocks which still have structure because of the snow. It opens like a fork into the sunlit part. The light is ok. The table is the most attractive feature, but I find it a bit confusing that it mixes with the shadowy part of the background. cheers

Dieter, I knew about the overlap... I mean once my hands had stopped shaking for the effort of having gone up the snow couloir you see in this other picture . At any rate, as you can imagine from some of the other pictures of the folder, it was not really possible to move a bit on a side to avoid the problem, let alone wait a bit. We ended already knee-deep into snow on the way back before too many a picture stop were taken, so to say!
