Critique Loch Achray mist and reflections this morning

[SFTPhotography]

Early rise but the prospect of mist, still water and golden light was enough to get me on the road for just after 5am this morning.

Sadly the golden light didn't really come through. @Steven001 got the light here earlier but these are a little different but on the same theme.

I like the first one as it has the vibrancy the others don't get get. The third is nice though with the smattering of mist.

I'm least pleased with two. The burst of light should have done more than that. I'm ok with one but come a better day in autumn...this loch will be epic trust me

Cracking reflections in these, can't really fault them, the only thing for me is they all break the rules of thirds but rules are there to be broken.

See of the light HAD broken though, this would have been epic. I am a sucker for 50:50 reflections. A quick sorti to my site and you'll see loads of them. I just love still water and am drawn to it.

Interesting edit, however, it looks too dark and that the black pount is too high. I wanted a softer, more etheral appearance than that edit.

Absolutely legitimate!
