It's a beauty, Eve. Don't mind me, but the neat freak in me doesn't like the crooked perspective
nor the bottom foreground. I corrected the perspective, trimmed the foreground,replaced the black frame width across the bottom, and yours looks more natural. I humbly concede :-).

To be able to view the Alps makes this window shot stunning LE.
Best of luck in the contest if this is your entry.

Lyn - What a spectacular view captured with the window as the frame. The mountain is topped by a lenticular cloud, completing the majestic scene. Thad

Wow, what a view. But I am confused about something. The Alps run through Switzerland and you are calling these by the same name yet the two countries are not connected. ??????
