Nikon D7000 105mm macro ISO 100 1/30s at f11 tripod, MLU & cable release.

Taken at a nearby lochan on an overcast day. Cropped for comp. Comments warmly welcomed.

Subject spot on but I wonder a bit about the comp. Maybe a bit more central and a bit off the top and bottom. Just my view. Good stuff anyway.

Cracking detail,

Minor nit - being a bit of a traditionalist I think I would have preferred a less severe pano style crop, image does feel ever so slightly cramped on the left hand side - probably echoes John's view to be a bit more central

Still a cracker as it is

Cracking image - don't mind the crop, but it's all subjective

Very nicely done, Nick. Agree re the comp, but that BG is spot on.
