Hi all,

Would value some C&C on the following image, "Beinn Chaorach, Beinn Eich and Beinn Ruisg from the east shore of Loch Lomond." which I'm hoping will sell as a 30-40" print (on mounted canvas maybe, or Fotoflot :dunno ).

Close-up of the centre, 50% crop.

    Nice, I grew up listening to the Loch Lomand song, and I've never actually see any shots of it. I like it!

    Two comments... It looks like the shoreline is slightly tilted, and it looks a little dark to me. But, I can only see the small version and my monitor isn't calibrated, so take that for what it's worth:D

    Thanks Rustic... now I can't get the damned tune out of my head eek7.gif:D

    I've rotated the image a small amount to balance it up a bit.

    The shoreline is quite dark, unfortunately.. there was some more detail in the RAW file, but it was noisy and after de-noising I decided to try to focus the viewer onto the summits. I can still see some shoreline detail, but I don't have a calibrated screen either. Here is a 100% crop.

    On my monitor, I can see the rivulete marked A quite clearly. I can also see the upper right corner of a field at B. Area C is very slightly red /brown and D very slightly green (when I say slightly, I mean almost imperceptably).

    Can anyone comment on how this looks on a calibrated display?

    EDITED POST -

    Tried Capture One 4 Beta to see if I could get cleaner shadow detail from the RAW file than ACR, and I did! clap.gif

    On the 3rd image, I can just make out the branches against the dark background, and can also just make out the boat house in the right-hand third.

    Anyone with a calibrated display make out any details?

    Again, any other C&C welcome.

    Cheers.

    I can see details in the bottom shot. But I don't find the shot overall that interesting. Could just be me.

    Thanks for the feedback CatOne. I guess it is more amateur 'chocolate box' than wow :D All part of the learning process thumb.gif
