Hi everyone

View of the farmhouse Achnambeithach below Bidean nam Bian (a nountain that realy looks like a giant when you are standing right in front of it) in Glen Coe.

Also a Mountain Rescue Post.

It comes complete with its own waterfals , its own river (coe) its own bridge and its own Loch (to the left of the photo) Achtriochtan.

Now,if you ask me,would i like to own it and live there?
Hmmm,i think its a bit damp for me there.:lol:

Photo taken (under fine rain with umbrella attached) with canon N and tokina 12-24 f4 & Lee filters.

Enjoy

Why ask for critique, your photos are always stunning. :D

If anything, I would have perhaps moved right slightly, framed the shot with the trees on the edge of right side, so you have more of a view upstream, and the water movements on left side which are cut off would be full seen?
You asked for it, but it's great anyway. :p
(You've probably already shot a different angle here :lol:)

No no no , i never see my photos as stunning,i`ll let you guys to decide that.

If anything, I would have perhaps moved right slightly, framed the shot with the trees on the edge of right side, so you have more of a view upstream, and the water movements on left side which are cut off would be full seen?

There you go,thats better now.:lol:

(You've probably already shot a different angle here :lol:)

Actually , NO , i haven`t ,:lol::lol:,why am i loughing?
Talking about moving to the left or right?
You should see where i was standing , on a rock , in the middle of a blazing river holding an umbrella in one hand, (only a nutcase like me would do it) , so , if i had moved to the left or to the right , now i would probably be a few miles down the big seeloch.:lol::lol::lol:

Thank you for your kind words anyway Warren.

Great Shot Dimitri.

I agree with you about your desire to live in the Highlands.

If I don't emigrate to Canada when I'm older I'd like a wee cottage by a river, away from the roads. :)

Lovely Photo (as usual) Dimitri! :) Did you by any chance adjust the levels of the rock at the front right as it looks a bit like there is a slight halo between the rocks and water.
