I like how LOW you got for the perspective in this one. It adds to the drama (not that those mountains needed even an inch more of height!). Pardon my forgetfulness, the Dolomites are in _____________ ? And I agree that this could be a postcard, the kind that makes you want to go there.

@San G.: Thank you very much San G, There in Italy
