My kind of image. Serene and peaceful. Perhaps a little too bright? But that could be my monitor or your's.
P.S. Do you remember which loch?

Perhaps the foreground stone beach could be less luminous ? It looks like it ought to be shaded. Was the light over your left shoulder ?

I'll check the brightness. It's Loch Ba, on Mull, looking east. I took it only a few minutes before this one. It was a lovely evening, warm, not raining and even with a stiff breeze to keep the midges away.

I've not fiddled with it, so I think that's how it was. The light was behind me, perhaps coming more over my right than my left shoulder.

The way the sun hits the distant mountain but not the nearer ones suggests that the shoreline is surely in shadow, or at least not getting direct sun.

I would suggest darkening the shoreline some, which will keep the sunlit mountain and clouds as the main points of interest. IMHO, this would make it look a bit more "plausible" even if it is less "accurate."

But it's quite fine as is.

I don't often disagree with Eric, but this is one of those times. I think the sun-catch on the shoreline is an important part of the composition. It helps balance things.

Does it substitute for the otherwise-missing "Hand of Man," Russ?

Looks to me as if there's somebody camped over there under the trees along the shoreline to the right, Eric. I can't quite see him, but I can intuit that he's there.

Touché.

I doubt the pier is natural...

As to the shoreline, I've looked again at the unprocessed image and it's certainly lit.
