These remarkable rock formations at the top of Sgurr Tuath formed a perfect foreground for the view of Stac Pollaidh. The gentle sunlight lasted less than a minute so it was good that I was already set up and actually managed to take a portait oriented image before the light diappeared for good. For me this was the peak of the whole trip, incredibly dramatic cloud and the kind of soft warm light photographers dream of, thrown together with and amazing view and a great foreground. I really could hope for more. The trip to Sgurr Tuath will stay with me for a long time, made all the better by the driving rain, severe gusts and hailstorm we had that afternoon!

The only criticism I have is that slight halo around the stack in the foreground.
Other than that it's a cracking picture =)

yes I picked up on that myself during processing (which is pretty rigourous) It is a natural phenomena and nothing to do with the processing of the image. Whether it still then counts as a criticism is for you to judge :P

In that case, nope.
Obviously I need to spend more time in the mountains doing a reality-check then!!!

No, I can understand your thoughts. When I first noticed it I also assumed that I had done something wrong in processing. It just so happens that the light happened to fall in such a way that it appears as a processing halo.

Absolutely stunning, man. Excellent composition; intricate details, perfect lighting. I'd love to see this printed large. What was your setup?

Thanks a lot. This is a 5DmkII and a 17-40L. F11, ISO100 and whatever shutter speed was required.

Wonderful light. Feels a bit Joe Cornish...even the crop.

Thans Andy, actually when I looked at it on my computer screen that was one of the first things I thought. I don't quite know why though!
