Hi all, back again :)

Had a quick editing session on 3 shots from Glencoe & really happy with how they turned out . All shots have been " done to death " but hey.....not by me :D these have been languishing on the hard drive for over a year but now, with slightly improved editing ability I think I've managed to bring out the reality I saw

Thanks for looking

Hi Lynne

A lovely set of shots - clearly the weather was kind to you :)

#1 Lovely light and the composition is good IMO, although the rocks in the foreground do look a little tight to the edge (unless you've cropped it's a little too late on that one!) The tree top left is a bit dark and wonder if you could lighten it a touch to separate form the background

#2 I like the symmetry and perhaps it would look better as a panoramic crop to lose a little of the empty sky and water top and bottom?

#3 The light on this one looks a little flat. Can you boost the exposure or highlights to lift it a little without losing the moodiness of the clouds? Fore example, the cottage and mountain tops don't look white to me - more of an off grey (the mountain tops might be because of what I think is a filter?) I think it is an optical illusion but the cottage looks to be sloping - not sure what a slight anti-clockwise rotation would do - it might make the rest of the shot look out of level?
 
1st and last for me Lynne, lovely images whatever it's called :D

I think she was right the first time, the glen is 'Glen Coe', the village/town is 'Glencoe'. It's a fairly common misconception, not helped by the National Trust for Scotland!

OS maps show 'Glen Coe' for the glen itself and the joined form used for references to features in the glen such as 'Pass of Glencoe'.

I knew I should have trusted my instinct...after all , I'm a woman & everyone know's we're always right :D I was referring to the overall area...mainly because I've forgotten the names of the individual places :rolleyes:

wow...thanks ever so much Adrian , pointed out several things I'd not spotted .
#1 has only been cropped slightly from the top ,the width is as shot ( if that makes sense) .As for the tree...I agree completely but lightening it without affecting the background is beyond my pp skill currently :(

#2 I knew the crop would be a bit marmite , again only shaved a smidge top & bottom....might just try your suggestion as thinking of getting it printed :)

#3...your comment re the light made me smile...flat was not the word if I recall correctly.It took a fair bit of pp to get the result you see but yeah , I need to work on it some more . I think I had a filter on so you're possibly correct on the color of the snow ....this edit took me about 10 mins so a little more time would be beneficial I think

Thanks again Adrian for such detailed feedback , much appreciated :clap:

:LOL: Cheers Gramps :D
 
A very nice set! I'm heading to glen Coe (or glencoe) for a workshop in a week, I'll probably take the very same shots!! But will aspire to something different. But if I come away with a set like this I'll be happy.
