gorgeous! I love the hint of wamr color in the snow. Very nice comp, looks great!

Killer light! Large version looks especially grand, almost 3D. Just beautiful. Great capture Paolo.

Love the sky and the warm glow on the snow Paolo. Beautiful light and detail.

beautiful i like colors and comp

This one is on a whole other level from the previous post. That one wasn't bad, but the conditions and color on this one are incredible. 30 minutes made quite a nice difference.

Paolo, Fantastic image very very beautiful scene & location. Wish I could have been ther. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful image, Paolo! I love the mountains and the sky, but the light reflected on the snow is awesome too!

Paolo, your comp is good as always, but this light is magical.

This is a beautiful comp with a beautiful colored sky. I love the warmer tones in the snow. Great image.

gorgeous image, paolo! great sky and colors, love how they are reflected in the snow. great drama and capture.

More great light and color. The comp is balanced beautifully as well. Lovely.

Hi Paolo. The reflections of the clouds on the snow is magical. Actualy the whole image is magical.

Incredible light, Paulo. I like how the snow is reflecting it.

Wow, what an absolutely gorgeous mountain scene. The color and light is magnificant! The bright orange light on the clouds against the blue sky is very strong, and contrasts wonderfully with the soft pinks on the snow. Very nicely composed. Top shot!

Gorgeous Paulo

Really really alpine and dramatic. Very well done Paolo!

It's a remarkable location and some beautiful light, but I don't see in the image a clear/decisive composition that helps it stand out. Other commenters seem to be seeing it and liking what they see, so I could just be me.

wonderful image paolo. How do you find the ZE 28mm?

Ehi, thank you all fellows for the many and thoughtful comments on this image. Kent, you're totally right, this is doubtlessly a tier-2 image of mine, and that's probably the reason why I waited almost one year before processing it. This is actually one of those shots such as "OMG, look at what a wonderful light up there!" and then you turn around and can't find anything as much groundbreaking to cope with the amazing light show in the sky. Oh well, you cannot always rush a home-run, right?

Prashan, mine is not actually the new ZE, but rather a very very old Zeiss-Contax lens, one of the few lenses I kept from my old Contax system of my film days. However, it's - along with my Zeiss Planar 50mm f1,4 - by far the sharpest lens I own. I do believe the new ZE version is outstanding as well, although it's hard to believe it's better than mine (as an old Zeiss mktg dept slogan says: how can we improve over perfection? )
If you're thinking about some Zeiss lenses, I strongly suggest you to look for some used Contax lens. the 28, 35, 50, 85, 35-70, 28-85 are all great lenses capable of delivering outstanding performances despite their 20-30 years. A used 28 f2,8 in good shape sells for about 200-300 $ on ebay, have a look and if you find it, don't think twice and get it. With a 10$ chinese adaptor ring it will finally bring every single pixel of your camera sensor to life...
