Backshift is such a pain theres no time to do much other than mess around and kill time. So ben trawling my auld photies and decided this should get posted up

 

[Pete Askew]

And indeed it should. Very nicely done Allan. Maybe a touch more detail in the clouds? What do you think?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I'm loving those deep blacks and the haze effect on the distant hills

 

[Dave Green]

That's a beauty! if I were to do anything I think I'd lose a bit off the top.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Was thinking along the same lines Dave - but then I'm a bit of a 16:9 fan!

 

[Paul Lange]

Rather nice Allan. Can I add that maybe the two grey dots in the black foreground along with the back dot on the mountian could be cloned? Probably DSGs, they're eberywhere!

 

[Allan Batchelor]

Ye i tried to bring our more detail in clouds but it was one of these days where there wasnt much in them to start of so it might be a 16:9 crop required to take some of the blandness out. I cropped it to my usual 12" x 8" so will try a bit tighter on the horizontals see how that looks

 

[Brian Moore]

Lovely shot. I'd like to see it with the sky (not the clouds) a darker color--as if shot with a red filter or something. Where was this taken, Allan?

 

[Allan Batchelor]

Brian it was taken up Glen Shee

Well i made a few changes. Hopefully for the better

 

[Pete Askew]

Radical, but pretty effective!

 

[Patrick Dziatkiewicz]

I think you should keep the first one and make the clouds slightly darker. The second one isn't bad but I don't like the pinkish colour, ruins the effect.

Thanks for the info, Allan. (That pink version looks like it was shot by the Mars Rover! I like it.)

the sky should darken up a bit, I took the same shot and got some drama

love the new crop!
