landscapes Emperors New Clothes

Soft winter light barely lifts the frost muted hues to reveal a

delicate tapestry of colour and the tesselated ledges of the

Buachaille beyond. I suspect most will prefer a more vibrant

interpretation of this wonderful peak but this will do me nicely.

Perfection in every way. I like everything about it, the moment of shooting, the light, the composition.. my best regards

A very natural picture which highlights the magnificent frame. Congratulations

Ian - nice to see a new treatment of the big shepherd. I like the muted look - our hills are like that. Only comment - cutting the 2 snow-topped rocks on the left takes the eye out left. Darken the frosted tops?

amazing scenery, prefect photo. maybe this tones are at least as interesting as the vibrant ones, plus it has a more impressive atmosphere. very good photo.

I like it.  The eye is compelled to wander the limits of this image.

A very good and a different rendition on the often photographed location. I do not miss the vibrancy of colors. The prevalence of gray tones and the rather uniform unmenacing sky give the shot a special calm atmosphere.

I freezed here by this amazing cool mood and very fine subtle colors which very suits to this scene. Congratulations for your choice.

Excellent work ...as usual ! Superb textures & colors ... regards.

I know, that this kind of light is very hard to find, and catch, maybe harder than the vibrant coloured one. excellent

Fantastic work, Ian!

Can literally feel the chilly air in this photograph.

Very innovative and aesthetic landscape shot due to a great compo, lights and subtle colors and contrasts of shapes. Can actually feel the cold, smell the air and "hear" the silence... ;-) Impressive and inspiring. BR / Volker

An excellent image Ian. Excellent composition, beautiful muted colors, and an unassuming sky work wonders in this subtle, but sweet image.

All the best,
Neil
