I'm surprised that Tom didn't advocate trimming it to a pano format. I think it would work very well without most of the sky and having the base start with the reeds.
Hello John
Lovely image, very peaceful. I think Rob is correct about the over saturation.
Best wishes

Agree with cropping a little from the bottom and I think Phillip has over saturated his version. However back to your origial image, I think it is a 'cracker'
I didn't see the pano crop ( I see in 3:1) but thking John suggestion I cropped it to pano-start(2:1) and quickly played with the levels of the sky to increase the depth in it.
This has tonnes of potential and the orginal is a good capture

Like this shot a lot. I also think a little bit off the bottom would improve it a bit but I'm not sure about losing any of the sky as I like the clouds (hey I'm strange - what can I say ) but this is a shot I'd be more than happy to have taken. Also like Toms pano as well so this shot definitely looks to have a lot of potential.
Thanks for sharing

The original and the pano work for me. Lovely light and great location.

Hi Guys
thanks for your constructive comments and I do not mind anybody playing with my pictures.
In my opinion Philip has went over the top with Saturation. Tom has presented a very nice picture. At first I was going to make it a Pano but I really liked the ripples of water in the foreground.

I like the orginal image minus 1 cm from the bottom as Tom suggested. Phillip's modification is way over the top IMHO, The pano crop also works.

Smashing shot from an uncommon viewpoiint< I can't recall seeing another from this perspective. I can almost hear the wind and smell the heather as I look at it, well done

Having never visited Scotland,yet.This image makes me very eager to go indeed.
A fine image of a beautiful location.
I like the way the trees and mountain top balance each other.
A good solid shot that has plenty to see.
