A few have wide grass areas that do not add to the picture. There are some with "sheep?" in the foreground that make the photograph very strong. Over all? A fine mountain shoot!

When I opened the picture and it began to evolve down the screen I'm lookng at Mont Blanc and a beautiful sky with clouds, thinking to myself this is going to be a beauty." Then the "STRONG FOREGROUND CAME INTO VIEW!!" :-) WOW!!!!!!!!! :-) Now that's making a point about having a strong foreground to catch a viewer off guard. Very well done with the beauty of the overall scene and quickly brought down to earth and the realities of animal life in the mountains. A very powerful photograph. Good on you! ted
