Great image of a hard and unforgiving landscape. I like the bright foreground threatening sky in the distance.

I like the yellow lichen in the foreground lifting the light - it goes so well with the grey skies.

Excellent moody sky and gloom in the distance offset by the light, and yellow colour in the foreground. Lovely fg textures as well.

A mean looking sky here Richard that burst of sunlight has given you a well textured f/g and a good lead in

Exceptional light Richard, almost as if you have desaturated the sky, the tones on the rocks are awesome, another Pro capture.

Bla Bheinn under a lowering sky way in the back and the lemon lichen stealing the fg show nicely. Skye is wonderfully dramatic and often better like this than sunny and bland.
