None. You really need something like 15mm here. Its so high, you are so low and the lake isn't that big and to frame both reflection and hill without anything being cut off needs a really wide lens. Normally 21mm is more than wide enough for me, but as I love this spot I am on the look out for a Zeiss 18mm or 15mm zeiss

You'll love it. Its the best in Scotland IMHO. This whole bit from Rannoch Moor to Ballachulish could keep you going for a week.

Your determination in finding the best light is impressive, this is another good set from you. No1 stands out for the lovely light on the mountain tops which contrasts really well with the blue of the sky. I just feels its a little tight in the frame and could do with more space.

It could. My widest lens is 21mm and it's uncropped. @daugirdas was here too, but with a 16-35. I'd be curious to see what he's russled up

Beautiful Steve, that light is just stunning. Its No1 for me, that golden light cutting across the ridges and the snow capped peak peeping through the col, then the whole thing mimicked in the reflection, glorious!
No2 lovely sky, like the contrast between the fluted dark and light reflection in the water. Think I'd have that distracting piece of weed out bottom left

The first one is divine, really good light, and the peak with a touch of snow is a lovely contrast to the warm rich colour of the rest of the scene.
There's some great colour in the second, and I don't mind the floater on the bottom left.
The third doesnt move me, while the light is nice enough, the scene doesn't work. Theres some great light on a hill that we can't see, and the eye gets drawn to the gloomy peak to the left, which is too dark to hold interest.

Very nice pictures. Nice to see genuine landscapes and not those heavily Photoshopped. Excellent.

This tickled me, pp wise I do as little as possible but as much as neccessary and beleive in the rubbish in, rubbish out approach. Get the lighting and subject matter, and using a camera is not difficult and it all falls into place.
