it looks like a wonderful day, Niek. I just love to get out the camea on days with those puffy white clouds. You've done a great job recording it, I especially love the reflections you've captured. I think the panorama works well here, too. I don't have anyhing to suggest on this beauty.

Hi Niek,
an excllent shot, the clouds somehow seem to have movement in them and the receding line of hills adds heaps of depth. Very well exposed and clear and sharp throughout, naturally.
Very well done.

Hi Niek,
I was waiting for your post of this stunning place, since Emma posted hers.
I like so much this other view, in which the amazing cloud's formations and its shadows are part of the main composition.
The weather was great that day and took good advantage of it.
Well done and thanks for post it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Niek

The symetry is great and you have captured the magical light of Scotland here - it could not be anywhere else!

Ah simply beautiful Niek! Beautiful reflection with those lovely puffy cumulous clouds! Good work in giving the top two thirds to the land and sky; it's well balanced that way. This goes down as one of my favorites from you. Excellent work Niek.

hi Niek
Sueprbe paysage tout en effet de miroir, le lieu est bien exploité et le grand anfle bien utilisé pour donner cette effet de fuite.
good shot

Hi Niek, this is a beautiful capture of Loch Tulla. The weather was cooperating fully to give you that great sky and clouds. The reflections in the lake are excellent. The colour throughout your shot is very good, with perfect saturation. It looks good in the sky and in the hills but it's also picked up in that reflection in the water. Your long landscape format works well with these rolling hills and the water.

Thanks, John

A stunning capture of this beautiful location in Scotland, Niek.
Fantastic cloud shapes hovering above the mountains and being reflected on water.
The exposure is just perfect.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Niek.
You are right. These places are similar Emma's landscapes. I like your very nice picture. Beautiful cloudy sky, amazing mirror reflections, perfect colours and lights are so impressive. Sharpness is great too as well as the whole composition of the shot. Perfect done and best regards.

Hi Niek,
I've just taken a look at Emma's capture and I can only say that this is a cracking one as well.Everything is exposed really well and I like the angle to the range of hills that draws you in.Maybe a slightly indecisive cut but other that that a pleasure to look at.

Hi Niek

Finally managed to get chance to re-write my critique to you. the thunderstorm lasted for hours and my electricity supply was a little too unreliable during it.

Glad to see you include the signpost in your notes. It has stuck with me over so many years!

I really like your composition here and the details are excellent, though you have suffered slightly from OE'd whites in the clouds a touch as well me. never mind... can't always win.

It was a beautiful day wasn't it! I have been looking at the Loch Etive pictures and they have come out really well.... hopefully upload one tomorrow or Tuesday....

You have really framed this one very nicely.

TFS

Hi Niek,

Lots of good things in this picture. What is outstanding to me the first time I saw it is the massive clouds and the reflection. Nice play of light with the shades on the mountains. TFS.

Hello Niek !
Stunning picture ! The reflection on the lake is perfect, like a mirror ! I also like the beautiful natural colors and the wonderful clouds in the sky with their reflection on the water. Composition and POV are perfect. When I see this picture, I just want to jump in a plane and go on holiday in Scotland ! :-) very well done !

Hello Niek,
This looks like the same landscape I critiqued from another TN member recently..A most excellent wide-frame panorama here. Top notch work, a quality image without a doubt!
Very well done.

Hi Niek,

Been rather busy recently (wedding things mostly!!!) but just had chance to look at some of your shots from your Scotland trip - some beauties there, I'm very envious!! This one especially is a wonderful shot, the colours and composition are lovely - the mottled sun and "Simpsons sky" really suits the scene perfectly. Great work.
TFS, Doug

Hallo Niek,

Ik las net een stukje van Emma en kwam via haar op jouw site terecht. Ik ben nu genoodzaakt twee foto's van dit schitterende meer te beoordelen (-: Daar gaat die dan. Ten eerste die dreigende NIET zijnde regenwolken zo vlak boven de bergen. Spectaculair. En oh oh, wat komen ze moo tot hun recht in de weerspiegeling van het meer. De schaduwen van de wolken op het land geven toch iets dreigens aan deze foto. Ik kan er niet omheen. Terwijl je het bladstille weer zo mooi weerspiegelt ziet in het water (als dit tenminste kan) Je hebt een goede POV, mooi compositie en je mag er nog zo'n paar -- samen met Emma -- op TN zetten. {Prettige weekend en tot TFS Bob
