Ben Loyal Morning

Great work with the grad filter. The balance looks perfect, and we don't see its use much since blending has become so popular. Wonderful detail, especially in those grasses.

Very nice, Eva. I love the foreground with reeds and then the distant peak and reflection are really nice.

I wondered when I would see this one it has really delightful colour and gentle light striking Ben Loyal. I think this is a superb shot and the reed bed complements the reds on the slopes quite delightfully. I might just back off fractionally on the green of the reeds the nearer ones are just a little too electric.

Beautiful!! Really nice light, color and detail in this, and I love the reflections. I agree with Harry...great work with the grad filter. Enjoying this one alot Eva, and your work with the 67ll.

Thanks very much Harry and Mark. I really don't like working in PS all that much. So grads it be instead of blending. Just my preference. I also feel more at home with film since I did it for so long. Glad I went back there thanks to inspiration from Ian C's work.

Thanks Nick.

Ian - Thanks very much for input. Much appreciated. I recently ordered a color target from Wolf Faust for Velvia 50 to profile my scanner. Current profile is based on Ektachrome target and the Velvia pre-scan needs work to get it to look like the transparency. Hopefully new target will help with my Velvia 50 scans but I will re-visit this scan file since I probably won't get the target for at least a week.

Exceptional photo, Eva. The light is beautiful and your composition couldn't be any better. Perfect use of the GND, too. I still use mine more often than blending as I like to finish most of the work in the field. Lovely image all-around!

we're enjoying your film images from that trip as well ... quality is fabulous.

A gorgeous image Eva. I love the slightly purplish hue to the blues in contrast with the green reeds. Stunning light. The softness of the clouds is also a nice contrast to the sharp, contrasty mountains. The touch of sunlight on the peaks is pure icing. Love this one.

I love the symmetry of this image Eva, and the leading lines of the grasses. Thanks for sharing!

That is a BEAUTIFUL shot! Perfect exposure and awesome reflection though the grasses.

Eva, this is a convincing presentation of the scene to me. I enjoy following the grasses into the depth of your image. The reflection is spot on to my eye. Great work in my opinion.

This is amazing Eva, great light

Splendid, and excellent composition. The quality and feeling of film is marvelous. And I like a lot how you depicted the sky...

Beautiful scene Eva. Don't think I've ever seen a photo using the reeds in the water as an S curve..very cool!

Of all the images you've posted from Scotland, I think I like this one the most. It's absolutely beautiful.

At first, I did think much of this, but, the more I look the more I like. Lots of nice detail in this scene. Very nice light, too. Good work.

What an amazing display of beauty! Great shot. I can almost breathe in the fresh mountain air!! Wonderful tones.

Wow Eva! This is absolutely beautiful. Great colors and soft light. Thanks for sharing the larger version.

I am enjoying them as well Eva. There is something about the film images you made that really just sing. This one is no different. I loev all the fascinating detail.

Wow, this is really good. I love the scene and the way the light and the element hold me in the frame.

Beautifully majestic landscape Eva, gorgeous light, comp and colour.

Gary.

Sweet, nuff said.
