Skye is one of my favourite places, the light is wonderful whatever the weather. Whether I can capture it is another matter.

Again, love to get your feedback (especially on the best software / process of blending panoramas, as you can see from the last one I still have much to learn on that front)

Hi Greig, I'm not keen on the first one, heavily over-cooked for my taste (eg the halo round the horizon line). I think panoramas are very hard to compose for; I suspect you'd need better, or at least different light to make that view work really well, although it feels like it has potential. Both the middle ones I really liked, although neither image anchors itself firmly as "Skye" (not a bad thing)...

2, 3 and 4 are rather nice, especially (for me) the simplicity of 3.
As above though, too much PP on 1.

Nice set Greig, although the first 3 look a touch overdone on the PP especially the first. The last is my favourite although I do agree with ChrisR's comments regarding the light for this type of shot.

Really like the mood in the first but the 3rd is my favourite, some nice lines and different layers of texture and colour.

Agree with above about no1 - no 3 is also my fave, gets better each time i look at it which is a very good thing imo !

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks all for the great feedback, some instructive points to consider
