This scene will look familiar to some of you because I put an older version up for editing. This shot was taken in better weather and with a better camera (and a very convenient cloud).

Like this picture. Is the river low?
Thanks. It's probably average for summer. Going by the debris along the banks it gets much higher than what you see.

Looks familiar because I've seen it just a few miles away.
Your mountains and rivers look the same as mine.
Geologically, they were once part of the same chain. The chain was broken when the Atlantic Ocean formed.
Good shot ...

Thanks. I think the north west of Scotland was part of the same plate as America's eastern seaboard. Not so sure about this location though. It's east of the Grampians which are south of the Caledonian fault line. In any case, I hope the midges didn't survive the separation

Thank you Carol. You're right - I'm spoiled for options (weather permitting of course).

That was a MOST convenient cloud. Very, very nice.
Thank you APL. I'm glad I had time to work the scene before the cloud moved off to the right.

Gorgeous. The bigger the better with this one. I like the balance that is established by the broad tree on the left and the foliated hillside on the right. The tree is so broad that it catches our gaze and forces us up the river toward the narrow gorge. Once we get there we are treated to the big mountains in the background. Everything from the foreground to infinity is sharp. I like it very much.
I might add that your choice of shutter speed is a good one. This would not work with a milky long exposure.

Thank you Erich. You've summarised my preferred composition - a clear channel leading to visually interesting stuff in the mid and far distance. I've noticed that larger versions of a shot are better at inviting the viewer into the scene, and that's exactly what this one needs to make it work well. The more immersive it is, the more the viewer will feel like they're in the scene rather than just viewing it.
Where shutter speed is concerned, I'm happy to tolerate a small amount of softness because that can equate to being a small amount of motion blur. But crisp sharpness has its merits too, especially if the ruggedness and dynamism of the river are being portrayed.
