Thanks - it was a joy taking it. The water just went still as the colours got good. All in the timing

Great shot. Love the colours, and the reflection. Perfect timing.
Hope you don't mind me asking, but when planning a trip for reflection shots, do you rely on the weather forecasts? Or just go anyway and hope for the best?

I check the forecasts then hope for the best they are right
If they're wrong there are other shots you can take but these are my favorite to shoot. Other than the Clifton Bridge which was a random shot this has been the only planned reflection shot so far...which you can read about my entire 2017 below and the thinking/logistics behind my images

Other than todays that is, but I've had terrible stomach problems so rather than lie in bed feeling ill at 4am I hit the road and went to Loch Awe...for reflections. No light but needed out.

Thanks for that Steve, I'll have a read. So I take it the main requirement for reflections is a dry day with no wind?I check the forecasts then hope for the best they are right

Edit: ignore that last question as I've just read your blog.

Lovely shot Steve, only one minor crit... because of the way the trees are leaning on the left I'd have been inclined to give this side more room, it feels a little unbalanced to this side atm.

I hear you. I think I'd have to crop a little off the right to do it.

No it's been pretty warm. I personally favour still water reflections to ice so was ok with this but would have preferred more snow lower down.

The sad thing is I do have it..but the card failed before I could download it.
I took it with @Gavlar82 from here.
All I have to show is this silly back of camera picture I took for Facebook.
Ah well it'll wait to next year...
