Dear all,
Long time no post. :) I have moved back to Malaysia since July 2010.

I see there are many shots of this castle already posted on this forum. :)

Here's my take. Taken May 19, 2012 in the evening when I was back for a holiday with my wife. :love:

A little colour balancing, selectively sharpened the castle a bit, and a bit more colour adjustment on the greenery to the left and right of the castle.

And behind me from the Eilean Donan is this:

Sod the castle, the reflection behind you is very nice.
 
:LOL: Too bad Photoshop "heal" tool can't heal away those pesky seaweeds at the bottom of that shot.

You might wanna try a little HDR in this shot. The sky and water are quite overexposed while there is no detail in the rocks. Nice composition though.
 
Both images are great imo....never tire of looking at this castle..
 
I don't know how to HDR. :) The photo of the reflective lake is a composite of two shots at different exposures already. I will try to lift out the details in the rocks a bit.

Thanks for comments. :)
 
I don't care how many shots of this place are posted, I will never get tired of seeing them.
I will get up there to shoot this myself one day if it kills me.
 
Nice shot of the Loch regardless of a few blown highlights. Good clear day too judging by the Cuillin in the distance.

Keep the seaweed - Loch Duich is a sea loch after all.
 
It is a beautiful location, even if it's a cliched one!
Like both shots, good reflections, but I actually prefer the one without the castle!
