The Allt Creag an Leth-chroin in Glen More. A bit of a mouthful hence my title... it was wet yet filled with snow and ice with more snow falling from the sky. In the distance disappearing into the snow clouds you can just see the start of the Fiacaill ridge which leads to the summit of Cairngorm.
I'd been down at Loch Morlich earlier but just as I set my gear up the mist rolled in, so I feel V2 lacks a focal point and feels a bit disconnected!

Nothing wrong with V1 Alan but V2 has the potential to be something really special. I know what you mean about the distant foal point but the foreground is so strong it can carry the image. Have you thought about a mono conversion and or a subtle gradient at the top of the frame?
Derek
With every shot you show the temperature seems to drop.......such a cold scene and I bet it was been colder for you there, but as ever so well composed with the stream pouring it's icy waters in your direction.
I know what you mean regarding V 2, but still worth capturing as a record of the conditions at the time.

I can see potential in v2, Al, but give just a tad more room at the side of the rocks (I would normally give as much room on the sides as there is at the bottom, for symmetry... but that maybe just me).
Dave
v1 is a nice shot but v2 is special it has buckets of potential .I think Dave is right with adding a little extra to the left of the shot to balance out the rocks and space and Derek with the mono conversion and a subtle darkening with the gradient tool at the top . I think it's the contrast between the sharpness and strength of the fg against the smooth and soft bg which makes it a winner 
Thanks Don, and Herman
Quote: You should be able to add a little to the side quite easily using the content aware tool,do you use photoshop. crop the image but extend the crop on the left side and then fill the void using the rectangular marque tool and content aware
You speak in Greek to me Jeremy 
I only have an old edition of PSE which has none of the bells and whistles you mention, however, this morning I had a stab at extending the canvas and cloning in to fill it which hopefully has done the trick. I'll let you be the judge when I post it later! Thanks for all the input though, much appreciated.
