Nonsense! Sunshine and no rain Scottish?

Nice shot, though.

I like it, but there is something about the contrast in the far away part that I find a bit unnatural... maybe a bit too much local contrast...
( but that is me)

Thanks for the comments. Kers, are you looking at the preview as shown in the thread or are you looking at the Flickr page? For me it looks as I intended on the Flickr page. Natural or not.

Hans, I see a white line along the mountains- ( oversharpening with downsampling) on both... so that

and too my mind the distant mountains 'should be' more vague/softer...to make it more natural..
again- it is my taste... and maybe your photo reflects the reality apart from the sharpening...

I'm sorry Kers., but I don't see the line you refer to. The Flickr upload from Lightroom has sharpening for screen at standard and I never see any oversharpening at that setting.
