This was taken on Sunday at mid-day.
I've tried to darken the sky but it has caused a weird edge to develop on the right flank of the mountain and changed the sky colour to a magenta? tinge. Am I being too critical or do you see it as well?
Any advice gratefully accepted, as I am a bit cheesed off with it.
Cheers, Goggz

This is bloody marvelous Pete. Dunno what your moaning about.

yup, agreed, now stop fiddling 
A stunning landscape with just the right shutter speed to convey a sense of motion in the water.
It came across on both my (lcd) screens as having a little too much magenta so I've uploaded a mod. Getting these screens to show a 'correct' spectrum is a problem and I don't care to spend money on monitor calibration software.

Hmmmm, pink.... And the other of Rannoch Moor pink as wel....
Are you finding the feminine side of yourself, Goggz?
Think there could be a problem just with processing the RAW files. In Capture One (I use the LE version), you can add magnenta or lessen it with a slider which is found in the White Balance tab. Maybe it is a setting like this which is turned on?
The pic is pretty light on my monitor here - yeah, I am exploring my 'darker' side... A tiny bit darker and the pink will be just a part of the overall image and add a sense of mystery.

Think you are being quite hard on yourself - of course others will notice things if you point them out !!
- love the detail and movement in the water
Perfection is in the eye of the beholder, looks good to me. Tony

Errr.... nope!

Fair enough Jacqueline. I'll give it a try again. My monitor is calibrated so there shouldn't be a problem there. Perhaps I've done something in Lightroom that has made it this way. Anyhow, it seems as though you all think it's passable. Thanks for that
And thanks Mand, Accystan, Looboss & Newy17 for the mods. Some interesting points in there, with changes to channels etc. Things I'd never think of!
Ta Wooly! An excellent mod too!
Here is what Alan wrote on his mod (No: 6):
Quote: Couldn't resist having a tweak at this cracking image.
Converted it to 16bit LAB mode.
Adjusted the a&b channels to kill the colour cast and masked out the f/g
Used a very fine blur brush on the right edge of the mountain.
Gave the L channel a contast curve and killed some of that in the f/g
Added a touch more USM just to the L channel and again masked a touch of that in the f/g
Interesting stuff. This is probably what confuses me the most about photoshop - there are so many different ways to skin the cat!
Cheers, Goggz
There may be a slight cast but it's still a stunning shot. Might be worth tweaking the curves a touch to bring out the mood.

Sorry Jacqueline, I've thrown my hands up in despair... every time I think I've got it right I get some horrible pink cast or another crappy end result. I've figured out the weird stuff on the right of the mountain - that is chromatic aberration and I've sorted it out in LR2 with -7 red/cyan & +21 blue/yellow, with defringe off. As soon as I try and do a second layer and Multiply, it seems to bring it back with a vengeance. All I want to achieve is a nice moody sky and a normal looking foreground.
However, when I get the image loaded into CS3 and start playing around with it, I can't help thinking that I should have done a 3 stop bracket, so that I can get it right by doing an HDR, instead of continuing with the -1EV original file that I have. In other words, I am cheesed off trying to convert a pigs ear into a silk purse...
Perhaps I should do a single exposure, three stop HDR... anyway, I have a whole bottle of 13% Cabernet Sauvignon (Calloway Crossing ) floating around in my bloodstream at the moment and I'm in no mood to do anything constructive. I'll try again later today (tomorrow).
Hic! Goggz
p.s. thanks for all the mods and constructive comments gals & guys... we need to get this nailed so I learn something...
Peace & LOve to all
Ok Pete, as I see everything through pink glasses when it comes to Scotland - I don't mind the pink hues. I think it is a fabulous image, great composition and ......................... sooooooooo Scottish!
