"Serenity"

A very special morning in a very special place. Rannoch Moor, Scottish

Highlands. Must be viewed LARGE !!!. Your comments/critiques much

appreciated

Kolejna piekna kompozycja. gratulacje . Odnosnie ocen , nie wydaje ci sie ze dzieje sie cos dziwnego z tymi ocenami 3/3 i 4/3 . Co o tym sadzisz ?

Pozdrawiam Mirek

Mirek - dzieki za odwiedziny i komentarz. Milo, ze sie podoba.

Co do tych niskich ocen to taka juz przypadlosc tego portalu (jeden z najglupszych systemow oceniania jakie widzialem) - o ile w ogole mozna mowic o sensownosci oceniania. Ogolnie pelno tu nawiedzonych szalencow (coby nie powiedziec mocniej), ktorzy strzelaja tego typu ocenami zza parawanu anonimowosci. Przyre, ale co zrobic

Pozdrawiam

Piotr, I'm affraid your getting ripped with these ratings. I don't understand why these jealous and annoying people act like this. My advice would be to ignore all anonymous ratings and vote to have this system removed, It's absolutley outrages.

It's a beautifully composed image showing very fine detail and nicely exposed. My only criticsm would be to wait till the passing low lvl cloud/fog to the left had gone, but it may be the case that it was coming in/getting worse.

7/7! Fortunately the 3/3's appear to be new members and won't count.

lovely landscape

looks very serene indeed

Your Scottish Landscape portfolios are fantastic. I have been taking photos of most of these locations for 15 years and know how difficult it can be with the weather etc. I saw also your photo of Dunure Castle in Amateur Photography magazine and it is the best I have seen. You have only been doing landscape for 4 years and you have amassed a brilliant portfolio of work. Congratulations again.

John - thank you for your support. I am seriously tired with that, too. Very often I am bombarded with bunch of 3/3's just right after posting new image. All of them are anonymous of course :)

What's even more strange - some new anonymous ratings appear one-two days later (no idea how it is possible ?). And that doesn't happen just to me - a lot of friends here have a similar feeling about it.

Unfortunatelly PN has the most ridiculous rating system I have seen on many photo sites. Obviously you can always debate about the sense of ratings at all, but there are some other clear methods available too.

I don't mind honest or terse critiques and I don't mind low marks either - but let someone really tell me what's wrong. I am trying to do my best and I really appreciate good feedback.

Coming back to your comment.

It was actually my intention to capture the passing cloud (or rather mist - I would say) in that position. The whole composition is a bit X-shaped to me (and I wanted to have such misty upper-left corner to balance the clear one from the lower right part). I know it may sound a bit strange :) - but that's just sort of my vision about it.

Weather was really playing a funny game that day. The whole area was covered with a thick & dense mist and there were just few breaks of clear sunshine. An hour (or more) later it completely cleared out.

If you're interested to see that - stay tuned :)

William - thanks for your comment. I'm glad you like my photos. Need to check on your work from this beautiful country.

Cheers

Piotr

fantastic scene, with a great reflection I like the mist coming it shows the changing weather which makes the image more intresting.

Rich.

Ps thanks for the comment and advice.
