Stunning view and so well captured, exposure control is super and so much detail, love it.
Only shame is I would have like to have seen the tree a bit more to the left of the mountain, it seems to just cramp up the central part of the frame slightly IMHO.

If you like the tree more to the left, you could check out my previous Buachaille upload here, or wait for my future uploads. There will be more, so watch this space! Thanks, Stewart!

Wonderful shot Conrad... great to see someone else shooting the Buachaille from a low point of view, as I feel it adds a bit more drama to the photo.

Great textures Conrad. An alternate crop could be just under the rocks, but I do like this one.

Excellent viewpoint Conrad, and good processing by Jacqueline (though I somehow doubt she needed your "supervision" Wink)

True, it could be cropped like that. But I didn't want to make this too square, and also this is a rather unusual kind of foreground, something I also liked.

If I want to learn from what she does, it's the only way. I have tried before to let her help me do it, but that doesn't work, she'll always have me move over and let her do it herself. So if I want to know how it works, I have to sit next to her and watch it, it's the only way...

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Great shot.

Warm regards, Iain.

I like the comp and subject Conrad but there appears to be a brighter halo around the mountain in the darker clouds of the sky, could have been there but seems processed and it detracts a little for me.

Both true, John - there was a bit of a halo there, because somewhere behind the mountain a little light appeared for a while (unfortunately only behind it, and only a little), and since the sky was emphasised a little in processing, this effect was also enhanced. Haven't found the ideal way to do this yet. I mainly like this one for the unusual composition and the many different white and grey tones.
