cheers all , yup the loch would have made possibly better foreground but sadly it was at least a half hour walk there and the sundog would have been gone , this was your preverbial 'grab shot'
I might , on reflection ( no pun intended ) try cropping the lower area back to almost the loch line , see if that makes a difference.
I will also see if I can make a link to a larger size later on , off to work now .
