Skye pic

I took this last year on a photographic holiday on the Isle of Skye.

Nice job capturing the reflection. Color and focus seem to br right on also.

My eye wants to see more to the left and right. The left side of the hill seems cut off. A panorama would have been perfect.

Very nice with the reflection. I agree with the comment of a pano but is nice this way too.
The one and only thing that grabbed my attention is the photo is tilted and needs adjusting. Maybe 1 to 1.5 CCW. AS little saturation of blue in the sky sure wouldn't hurt either but not a big deal.

This is a beautiful photo, very well done.

The only other thing I would like to see is one of the Talisker Distillery (The only distillery on the Isle of Skye) which produces a very fine single malt whisky ;)

Thanks for the comments guys

The one of the distillery is completely out of focus, not sure why, maybe I should have taken it before I had a few samples!!

Nice Mark,
but i think it need more contrast, try it like a panorama, becorse there is nothing in the foreground...
Bring more tension in to the photo - or for meditation more silence...

I have been to Scotland, but not Skye.
******************************

Interestingly a school teacher in our area wrote a lovely short travel book, "From Sky to Skibbereen" and I talked to him about same a few years back.

I love this photo, and the colors of the hills are just amazing. You see, here in Canada everything would be covered with bush -- but you Scotsmen have harvested most of the trees and this looks like a mountainous moor. Of course ours will be turning bright yellow and red in the next few weeks.

It may have been that the right forground in your location felt alive and close when you took the shot. That even looks like a sheep in the close middle ground. But at these small web dimensions, it remains a speck on the frame.

So, I think that challenge (dear Treasurer of the Gloucester Photo Club) is to find an alternative location with some forground to carry this outstanding area of landscapes and sea/lough space.

But it fair to say that, as is, this image looks a bit unbalanced on the sides. The sky may be a bit overexposed too, but I do not know how to beat that. Possibly a filter of some sort -- but I have no expertise in the filter area. You're shooting film are you not?

Anyway, it is a lovely photo, as are others in your portfolio.
