[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I got married two weeks ago, and we went on Honeymoon to the Isle of Skye. My wife didn't know where we were going, and she seemed to like the beauty, the peace and the accomodation. This is taken from the rocky beach on Elgol, looking across to the Cuillin mountains. I had forgotten my tripod so I had to work hard to get a good postion for a long exposure. I altered the white balance to give the blue and purple hues and then rotated the image (squint rock) and cropped the final product.

Great,it`s so mistery! Is it the fog or long time exposure water?

lovely colour and use of long exposure on the watr. Have done a workshop to try and improve on
things.

Firstly, congrats to you and your wife David on getting wed.
Secondly well done on your shot here, it seems eary at first, but after looking a little more you have captured the clouds and the mist complimenting each other very well here. The blackness of the rocks also add definition to your picture. Nice!
