Nice framing and beautiful light !

But oversharpened / too much clarity to my taste, especially the foreground.

Can become outstanding with better process.

Yes, nice, but I agree with previous comment.

Very nice all the way round. The sharpening issue some have pointed out, seems just fine to me. The only thing I see that needs fixed are some spots in the sky (dust on your sensor?) Great light and good mood excellent photograph.

Thanks all.  I'll consider the feedback that I've gotten on the road and alternate cropping, but am leaning towards keeping them this time.

Also thanks for the feedback on the "dust."  Not dust, but water droplets that I did not clean off.  Was scared for a minute that it was dust and I would have all my photos since then at risk.

BTW - this is my 100th post and I am a full member!

I also like it as it is. One could find it a bit over the top (clarity?) but Scotland can deliver very dramatic experiences and this image is well within the scottish landscape.

Congrats on your 100th post. Please, keep posting your photos…

Reposted with the waterspots removed.  Toned down the "roughness" a bit but I still like it.  Emphasizes the man made vs nature.

Potentially a nice photo, but way over-processed IMO. I have been all over the world and have never seen a sky the color of grape juice.

Okay one comment on the processing is anecdotal.
Two comments starts a trend.
Three comments starts becoming a conclusion.

Will go back to the drawing board on this one.
