Linking the Isle of Skye to mainland Scotland.

Beautiful composition and b/w treatment. The only suggestion I can offer is to perhaps lighten the lower left corner just a smidgen to show just a very little detail.

Nice shot but that dark spot on that mountain is killing it. I would like to see the colour version because of the water, the foreground and the mountains.

8-) Thank goodness.
I am not glad the spot is there but I was beginning to think I had lost my mind. :shock: or was stretching just to find something to critique.
That's an easy fix and nobody is going to blow it up to look at the edges of everything for the slightest little fringe or something. except us. :P
Because were picky people that choose peter pan peanut butter. :-o I like Crunchy style. ((:?,) mmmmm ;-)

I am surprised no one mentioned it. It is an easy fix.

Has it occurred to either of you that you are looking at a shadow, not a defect that needs to be fixed? The mountain is not cone shaped and the light is coming from behind it.

You are spot on selmslie, I will attach a crop from the colour original here. Perhaps my processing accentuated the shadow but I didn't get my attention because I knew the shadow was there.

Sorry, I should have addressed my comment to tainkc alone.

I see no point in even discussing whether a "fix" is needed or easy unless we are positive that there is a defect.

Well I suppose it does distract… now that you point it out, something that hadn't bothered me at all now sticks out like a sore thumb- well not that bad really, my original assessment still stands on the image. Now that I see a bit of the color, that green!!!! you don;t get the color anywhere much else in the world, seems a shame not to show it.

LOL ANyways, the shadow.... If thy right shadow offends thee , lop it off! Of you could layer the file, with top layer shadow totally removed, then make that layer ever so transparent, so the shadow is there, but barely… then it a call… more or less its up to you.

Hope this doesn't break any rules… one of the things in art school was to break the plane (rules). ;o) And I am an American after all. LOL

Yes, broke the rules. But everyone had a chance to see it now. Sorry, posts of edits have to go. I can't believe I didn't notice these 2 pics last night when I made my last comment. I must have been tired. You guys slipped one by me for a while. LOL

I like the shadow in the left corner. To me it makes the shot feel like I'm there. I've stood at a place like this, and there are shadows.
