Gorgeous. I love the lighter area front right, and the capture of the stone leading down into the water and the sky is gorgeous.

this must have been a long exposure to get the movement in the clouds as is, terrific resulting image

so sharp!! great shot

I love it but the touch of white on the right is slightly too bright and therefore is distracting my eye a touch. The foreground is superb.

By the way I love the addition of the bird Wink

This is still on my wish list of places to visit - didn't get the time this year, on my way to Scotland. But it's easy to see why it's an attractive place. Well composed and exposed capture.

That sky looks awesome, as does the 'ghostly' water surrounding the bottom of the path - which also have a nice hint of red to it

The splash of light on the jetty balanced with the movement in the clouds demonstrates expert camera work.

Hey Simon, you nailed this one. I wish I could find something like this near my house. That foreground is so detailed, and the cloud movement spreads light to just where it is needed the most. I'll look at your archives when I'm not at work . I bet there's some good stuff in there!

So did the boat get past the excise men and bring your Brandy? Just wonderful use of the light and exposure Simon.
You must have some walls to have all these special images on.

All the very best

Wow! Great shot. Nice work.
