The Knoydart Peninsula

[nowler]

hi folks

i spent last saturday climbing Ladhar Bheinn in Knoydart. There are no roads into Knoydart, so we boated in down Loch Hourn from Arnisdale to Barrisdale, moored up there and set about the hill. It was a stunning day, and it's a spectacular hill. However, picking the hotest day of the year to slog up and around it carting more lenses than was necessary was not the wisest move.

I'll definitely be going back there and would reccomend it to anyone. All C&C on the pics most welcome.

You could get back those clouds in the mono version by cloning in some of the grey cloud @ less than 100% opacity.

The halo on the skyline needs looking at too.

I like them but they all look over sharpened to me. That gives a Wow first impression but is stressful to the eye for prolonged viewing.

cheers guys

points all taken on board. i seem to be over processing a lot of my stuff at the moment, and i'm never too sure on how much to sharpen for the web. it all looks fine, then when i upload it, its overdone. i'll try throttling back and post some re-edits.
