Yup, that looks pretty Scottish to me.... I like this one a lot, although I would have liked to see a bit more of the mountain to the right.

Beatiful shot. I like the choice of SS in the silky stream. The red in the stream , the golds and blues are really complimentary. There appears to be a slight halo on the descending ridge from the right, probably just compression. Nice work as always.

Lovely comp and colors (the clouds look too blue to me, but I'm on a questionable monitor). I like those greens that show up in the rocks in the FG. Would like to know the shutterspeed........ nice job on the water. Sweet.

Exposure was 10 seconds, this was well into blue hour lighting. I left the clouds blue (perhaps should have taken a bit out) but colour corrected for the foreground to bring out the natural colours better. The mountain to the right is really not very interesting at all; the main feature of note are the iconic Three Sisters on the left.

Absolutely exquisite! Visiting Scotland and Ireland has been on my bucket list for a while now. I need to get in gear and make it happen. Thanks for sharing. :toast:

Stunning. Love the saturated color and moody, misty feel.

I love the color tones in this, the red rocks add a lot.
For 10 seconds, the water still has some nice texture.
Overall, moody and beautiful.

This carries a nice, almost somber, flow. The rich, but not overbearing, colors fit the mood well.

I get the biggest kick out of (and am insanely jealous of) how you pop up images from such widely spaced locations. From the thumbnail, I thought this was from the same location as your prior image. (I think you missed a golden opportunity to clone in one of those red starfish just to mess with us :biggrin: .)
