"Scottish Speciality"

Buachaille Etive Mor is probably one of the most

recognisable "Munro" (peak above 3000ft = 915m) in Scotland. It is a

magnificent mountain of four distinct peaks standing at the head of

Glen Etive and overlooking the north-west corner of Rannoch Moor.

The best known view of the mountain is from the north and east, from

where the great rocky cone of Stob Dearg is the outstanding feature

of the mountain. Extending south-west from Stob Dearg, a 7-kilometre

long ridge goes over two Tops, Stob na Doire and Stob Coire Altruim,

and ends at Stob na Broige, another very steep and rocky peak

overlooking lower Glen Etive. This rocky tower guards the entrance

to Glen Coe, that's why some people call it "The Guardian".

Collecting Munros is very popular among Scots and it is quite a big

challenge, as the list of all Munros is about 284 long. After pretty

warm Saturday the night was extremely cold and so was Sunday

morning. It was really the thing I've been waiting for (it is when

the visibility is at its top, plus you can find a decent frosty

foreground to match the composition :)). I know that this

composition is very popular and not at all unique, but the geography

of this place and its amazing popularity makes it really hard to

create something extraordinary. In my opinion, however it is all

about light and weather that makes a particular shot unique, so the

possibilities are almost endless. Please view the larger version.

Hope you'll like it.

This is very beautiful Landscape, very well balanced and creative exposure, great DOF, composition and of very original colors

 

Wishing you all of the best my friend

Simply stunning. Well done.

A great shot. The light is beatyful.

Outstanding.....nice colors, good exposure and depth of field.

As you say, this is "the one everybody has" but you have done an excellent job with it. Very good DOF in particular.

What hasn't been done? There are few things that haven't been shot before. What's important is bringing your own vision to the image. I think you did a magnificient job of it here. There is not a flaw or thing to change in my mind. I've never been there before just now. Thanks for the trip. I love how you managed the light and elements so well.

super!

Art

EXCELLENT.

Gorgeous landscape, Piotr. I wouldn't change a thing! Wonderful light, and a perfect exposure in the shadow portion of the image. This is really a very beautiful image. Well done, my friend. A 7/7 anonymously. Cheers! Chris
