Suilven
I always think Suilven looks like somebody's thumb sticking up into the air. I took this on a very fine Autumnal afternoon when the sky was punctuated by squally showers and then intense bursts of sunshine. This was right on the edge of one such downpour the light was divine.

Glorious colour and setting Ian :toast:

Has a slight feeling of being tilted to my eye, probably due to the angled grass's etc and frame edges, but if i imagine myself within the actual setting, i'm sure all would appear perfect.

cracking scottish landscape image :toast:

Very nice! Love that splash of green right in the middle - it makes the autumnal colours all the more, erm, autumnal!

A very striking image and a fabulous sky too. I know little about landscapes so can offer no critique whatsover I'm afraid.
