Hi Richard,
The long exposure works well here as does the B&W, I like your POV with the river leading the eye into the shot and to the hills in the distanece.
I hope you had a good Christmas back home, though I bet your glad to be back in the warmer cimate.

Best regards to you and the family for 2008.

Hi Richard,
You'r back in Singapore again?! Hope you had a great time in Scotland. The picture you posted shows a great mood. The soft reflections are wonderful, the two tone sky too. The long exposure and large f-stop works well here. Excellent posting my friend!

I have been very much looking forward to your images from Scotland, Richard and you have not disappointed me. This is awesome. Your camera settings make it perfect. I would not have believed how beautiful a black and white of scenery could be. Stunning , and welcome home.
Warm Regards

A safe and Happy 2008 to you and yours.

Hi Richard!
Wonderful landscape here, and I think the choise of B/W is good.
The long exosure time transforms the water into not just a mirror but in a kind of filter which gives rise to an astonishing mood.
Well done!
happy new year

Like the mood you captured Richard. The long exposure really gave the river a "flat" appearance and interesting reflection. Can really feel the cold. Love the clarity of the total image.
Happy New Year

Hi Richard, Happy new Year!!
Great image, the water looks fantastic and DOF is very good, great choice for B&W also.
Hopefully i'll get posting soon and get in contact with yourself and Scott a little more regular, but time is not on my side at the moment.

All the best Pal!!

Hello Richard !

Missed your return on line! Great to see you back ! I wish you and your cute little family first all the Best for 2008. HAppy trails and funny photo hunts, with them ,Treklensers or friends.

Cool B&W conversion. The various shapes of trees and quiet river makes this shot very attractive to the eye.

Great composition with this POV catching the curve of the river. Bravo!

I must have been gone when you posted this one! SUPERB BW shot here Richard! I love the tones in this one! Reminds me of Ansel Adams shots! I am SO tempted to shoot landscapes in BW, but always chicken out! You did a great job with this one!
