Buachaille Etive Mor

A fine morning in Scotland, had to get up very early as the sunrise was at

5.30. Comments welcome, please view the larger version.

I think you missed a trick here, the pool of water shows reveals a tantalising reflected glimpse of the mountain, this pool of water and the reflected mountain could have dominated your foreground. As it stands the foreground is a touch dark and bereft of detail and interest. I think you should revisit this location ASAP!!! The larger image shows more detail but also reveals the nearby road which for me, is a distraction, spoiling the feeling of solitude, a lower vantage point might have avoided this.

I hope you find this constructive.

Best regards Stephen

Stephen, thanks for your comments. I had thought of getting closer to the pool, but....I wanted to keep my feet dry: the last few yards to the pool were very boggy.

The darkness of the foreground is deliberate: making it lighter might add detail, but I feel the darkness accentuates the sunlit mountains more and adds more 'drama'. The lack of detail also has to do with the resizing: the large version (this is a pano of 3 photos) does show a lot of detail in the foreground vegetation.
