R.G. Loc: Scotland

This isn't close enough to do justice to its distinctive outline, but I liked the setting.

Well done image.

Thanks again, Karin. Grey, cloudy weather adds to the workflow and all that work isn't always appreciated .

Beautiful depiction of the scene as it really occurred.

Thank you Mike. That would be a vote for realism then .

You can tell who lacks imagination.

Very nice R.G. I believe I would give it a very slight bump with the structure slider in viveza or something similar. Very well thought out composition.

Thank you Mark. I limited the overall sharpening because of the effect it was having on the vegetation on the left, but you are right - there are areas that could have done with more. The trouble with the distant stuff is that there was a fair amount of atmospheric haze that I've already had to struggle with in PP and there's always a limit to what can be salvaged. It was that kind of day....

And yes I did put a lot of thought into the composition, from the position of the mountain and its reflection to seeing the small bush on the far right against clear water, to having a channel lead through the foreground to the mountain. I couldn't do anything about the haze, but that's what the climate is like there much of the time.
