The larger version of this really rocks! I love the color and texture of the mountain and the calmness of the water. Very pretty.

Happy New Year to you and Winnie!

What an interesting and beautiful image. The trees at the far side of the loch provide a nice sense of dimension.

Outstanding photograph! The reflection is fantastic and I also love the intimacy offered by the reeds in the foreground while the distant trees give a good sense of scale.

Happy New Year, Kah!

Those colors are out of this world! I love the fg detail in the grasses/reeds and the scale offered by the trees.
Happy New Year!

Really nice! Wonderful colors and the reflection is awesome on that calm water. I love the foreground grasses, and yes, those trees on the far shoreline really make a nice scale. Wonderful work, Kah Kit. Happy New Year to you too!

Kah Kit:
Fabulous image. Love the partly fuzzy and partly clear reflection. The fg reed and the trees in the middle are great for giving the sense of scale.

BTW saw your image at the Veolio exhibition. Congrats

A pretty straight forward reflection shot. The colors really take this beyond common to the unusual, and excellent status!

What a wonderful scene Kah Kit, the colors and reflection really work well here. I've enjoyed all your images from Scotland. Fantastic work!

Thanks for the ID on the loch Ian. With a name like that no wonder I can't remember it.

Love the color palette! Beautiful and impressive as posted, Kah Kit. That said, I think if you experiment a bit with a crop along the top, the image will change dramatically in an interesting, and positive way. I find if you crop 1/3 to 1/2 the mountain above the distant trees (really like the scale those trees offer..) it changes the dynamic of the capture and one's eye then seeks to scan those inviting foreground reeds to see the reflections and to determine what lies above...

Wow, neat. Abstract and real at the same time. I really like the organic quality to the blue. Am assuming they're rocks.

The blues, lines of trees and foreground reeds give this an added dimension that sets it apart from the typical reflection image. I like it very much.

Sweet combination of colors here and I just love the trees on the other shore. They really put things into perspective.
