Isle of Skye - Processing Revisted

After going on a mad spree and over saturating some of the images lately I went back and revisited a few of the shots and toned down my processing. Any comments on processing or on the composition/exposure of the photos would be appreciated.

The first one is of reflections of Beinn Na Caillich on the Isle of Skye, it is much less saturated than what I had before, unfortunately it was around midday when I took this shot but I liked the reflections in the water as we drove by.

The second if from a series of small waterfalls known as the Fairy Pools. Initially I had dodged and burned the hills in the background but decided it was too much. This is one of my favourites from the trip so far, however I am unsure if it is a little underexposed.

The third is another water shot luckily there was a little bit of colour which I managed to bring out a bit more. I may tone back the clouds a bit on this one.

The water shots were done with a Hoya 6 stop ND filter and a Circular Polariser.

Really like #2

Yep, #2 is awesome. Well done!

Superb, really great stuff.

Very best,

I third the second shot!

Don't think I ever saw your oversaturated ones, but since in these ones you're at the sweet spot both in terms of saturation and contrast, they probably didn't look too good. These ones are superb. #1 is my favourite.

Thanks all, I guess #2 will be getting printed out for the wall.

The first one was initially too saturated after looking at it again and I just replaced it on Flickr with the one above. I need to work on the other photos from this trip and tone them back.

The only thing I was thinking of doing to the waterfall shots was toning back the clouds a little bit and removing some of the contrast in them. But I am not sure yet.

I'd just leave them as they are: no local adjustments. Then again, I'm a bit of a purist.

Besides, having good contrast is a plus for B&W conversions if you're into that.

I like 1 and 2 a lot. In 3 it looks like you backed off on the shadows a bit too much for my taste.
