    Nice shot, I'm sure most viewers will see something different as the subject.

    I had to google the title - my French poetry knowledge is sadly lacking!

    As John mentions, it's a strong scene but lacks a subject to focus on. I'd suggest (if you can reshoot) walking down the hill a little way and use that tree at the bottom of the image as a subject, placed in your scene in the gap between the valley. You'll need a fairly wide angle and a low shooting angle.

    The other suggestion I'd make is that it could do with some delicate post processing as it's very flat. This is partly the lighting, but I can see how you could get creative with that mist, the greens and the shadows.

    Are there lakes in the top right hand? I am not sure that they add to the scene.

    No Ken, those are some specks of melting snow from the last winter ( neiges d'antan) ;-))

    A nice scene I would crop the image from the top just a little bit to eliminate the bright melting snow .

    I like this as it is. We are too much used to highly processed images with exaggerated colours. The bits of snow at the top give relevance to the title.

    nice and clean but looks a bit oversharpened - because of the mist?
