"Elgol Dawn" - Moods of Elgol

The range of hills known as the Cuillin rises from the sea on the far side of Loch Scavaig, 4 to 5 miles from Elgol. I wanted to show the beautiful coloured stones just under the water so I waited till the surf just hit the far rock before disturbing calm water in the foreground. Due to the heavy tides at Elgol, there are a number of rock formations that only appear at certain times.

Skye and its smaller neighbours that make up the Inner Hebrides are known for their wild, beautiful landscapes of deep lochs and jagged mountains.

Beautifully done. It gives me the sense of an ektachrome slide shot - vibrant colours that are crisp and sharp. Good composition as well. The eye is led into the shot towards the horizon. It is one of my planned trips to go to the Isle of Skye one day. Good work!

Wonderful work on this Stephen! Your details on the rocks are really excellent! Incredibly sharp and colorful! What a scene! It looks like you could take a 1000 shots of this place and still not be done! Excellent work!
