    That castle...

    Yes, Eilean Donan Castle again, but from a slightly more unusual angle. Taken when I was on holiday in the Highlands at the begining of April, with evening light.

    Thanks. Just a little saturation boost, and a bit of local contrast enhancement, but it's pretty close to how I remember it.

    missus has always wanted to go to scotland, and shots like that make it more of a reason to go
    Simply enjoy photography
    Take more crap than good pics but the good ones make me feel good

    Lovely. I think taking the bit of blank sky off the top would lessened the amount of sky and bring the castle further into the image (that sounds daft, but don't know how else to explain what I mean ?). Lisa.

    PS I'm going that way in Sept.

    Hmm... maybe I can sell it to the Scottish Tourist Board...

    Lisa, you mean cropping the top just above the clouds? I might have a bit more of a play tomorrow. Hope you enjoy your time there, and have the sort of weather I had the day I took this shot, as opposed to some of the other days - I've got a few rainbow pics I'll post...

    Thanks again everyone.
