Hey Chap

I remeber this place well, is an awe inspiring spot which there are few photographers that could do it justice.
Given the conditions on the day, you have certainly given it the justice it deserves.

I just want to know whats behind those mountains, a trek up there over the top and back down Geln Etive is in order...

Cheers mate

Hi Paul!
Thanks for the very interesting notes that accompany so well your wonderful picture. I like that kind of atmosphere very much. You call it gloomy, I'd prefer call it wonderful weather for taking pictures! I just regret that you wanted to correct artificially what nature makes so well. In my opinion no need of pushing your picture in postprocessing. The natural way would be far better...

Kind regards
Markus

I find the light and color in this image to be quite interesting. It is unusual... very different from what I am used to here in the U.S. What time of day was it taken? I like the composition very much. The inclusion of the road gives wonderful scale to the scene and leads the viewer far into it.

Hello Paul,
A beautiful landscape!
So naked so green...
I like the lines and the rainy weather; rain can look good as it is photographed by others, hehehehe!

Hi Paul,
Simply a majestic setting, peaceful, so very chilly and wet. The shades of green look so soothing to the eyes and the sky with the sun breaking out from the clouds add a nice effect. The serpentine road add so much interest here. Excellent POV to portray this charming ambience and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

This is a stunning landscape and you have caught the mood and rugged beauty of the highlands perfectly. Composition, exposure and level of detail are all good and the sky is stunning.

Hi Paul.
Havn't been here much lately. Feeling a bit uninspired. Need to get back into it :)Very beautiful. Awesome light and colour. Great POV. I love that dramatic sky. It seems so typical of the Highlands. I was there in the height of summer about 10 years ago and I remember it looked the same then. I guess that's the beauty of the place. Very well captured once again.
Best regards, Steve.

Hello Paul,
Wonderful composition showing this very green mountainous landscape. It looks very dramatic with the low clouds coming down and covering the distance with a haze. Very beautiful capture!

Beautiful scenic view of the Scottish landscape. Incredibly rugged mountains with lush green foliage. Interesting the way the clouds are sitting right down over the mountains. Well done.

TFS!

Hi Paul

This is how I would image Scotland would look. Vibrant green of the rolling hills. Light pouring through the clouds and a low mist rolling in. Very atmospheric shot with great light and a wonderful composition

Hello Paul,
Great dedication, I'm certain Emma will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
The POV and composition are excellent, as is the detail, depth, and color..It does look like a gateway, as your eye moves left to right and up the valley.
Very well done.

Hi Paul,
I'm glad you posted this photo. The weather looks a lot like what I had the day after we visited Loch Etive. I am sure that Emma will apreciate this photo since it will bring back many good memories.
I do like the composition and the wonderful sky. But I also feel that the colors are slightly off. I like what Markus did in the WS.
TFS,

I like this a lot, Paul. There is a wonderful quality to the light. It seems to fit the soft feeling of the landscape, too. And you've managed to capture both. Well done.

Hi Paul

A wonderful thing to do for Emma! I'm sure she appreciates it. All of us who know here from some time wish only the best for her.

This is indeed a lovely shot that earns its charisma to that gloomy weather. I really like the way those peaks look surrounded by those heavy clouds.
You did very well in the PP and therefore the FG looks very nice, too, that green bringing up the frame well.
Very good exposure and perspective as well, creating a charming composition.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Paul

I'm honored that you would post a picture for me and one of my favourite places as well. I remember one of my walks up into the hidden valley which lies between 2 of the 3 sisters. It is a great area and the walk was stunning, though the climb out of the valley in deep snow on New Year's Day 2006 was very difficult, and in low cloud as well so no photos. Well you brough a smile to my face! Thank you.

You seem to find all of the bad weather in Scotland, one of these times we'll have to me up there and I'll get you some good weather! But at least you have make a decent photo from it. Nicely done and Thanks

Emma
