single photos Edinburgh Castle from Calton Hill (Sepia)

I like the beems of light in the background a lot, realy takes my eye deep into the photo.

Beautiful! I love the shifting contrasts.

Beautiful and wonderfully captured scene, Martin!

Magnificent. I believe the toning really adds to this photo... look at those nice A ratings! This is one of those images that one should behold as large prints - the 4 Mbytes of the Canon PS G3 will surely allow an 8"x10", but I am not sure that larger formats would still kick. Let us know!

Hi Martin:

 

I agree with Michele (for the second time this wee). The suble duotoning has really added a new dimension to this. The light rays, in particular, seem more obvious and stand out in better contrast to the clouds. What I like the most is that, except for a few faint clues, this could just as well have been taken in 1853 as 2003. A classic! --jim

I thought this might be Edinburgh. I've only ever been there once, for one day, but this is quite distinctive (this shot has more sunshine than I remember though).

Nice shot! I especially like it because I have stood on this very spot and looked over the city. Nice lighting...my days in Edinburgh were a bit rainy and overcast. Good pic overall!

Wonderful execution.. I have visited the place a few years back.. just did not think shooting it from so far.. well done :)

This a great photograph for monocrom ( as it is appear on my screen-not sepia } the rays of light in the sky stand out the contrast and the tones of the cloud, and acts a successful background for the castle and the other building around it.Good work.

amazing view.
