This is quite a vista.
The clarity of the distant background is amazing, especially around water. Good viewing conditions.
There is color contrast between greens, blues and whites.
The texture of the cliff edges draws the eye and then to the water.
Good composition and I like the "not-overdone" color.

Outstanding! The view is to die for, and the wonderful light and shadow was perfectly imaged. Soothing, yet powerful at the same time for the glacially sculpted landscape replete with beautiful tarns. Just a purely awesome photograph.

Maciej,

What a grand and beautiful landscape. I too love the play of light and shadow on the land. Crisp, clean colors, contrast and no nits or suggestions from me. Beautiful capture.

The balance of light and clarity of the elements is nothing short of amazing.

Dear colleagues I am very happy to read your words. It looks like I can somehow say to myself mission accomplished as I managed to share with some of you the emotions, the feelings of the pure beauty I have seen that day ... Normally I repeat to myself that is is rare to make a nice photo outside the golden hours ... but on that day it was just amazing light for almost all day ! That was the best photographic day of this years moments in Scotland. Thank you once again I am honored to read your opinions
