Another shot from the Caledonian Canal as you see the weather was great and I loved the view so stopped to shoot but had to cross a very busy A82 to take this. I had a great time in and around the Inverness area but it was unfortunately short.

Shot in raw re-sized sharpened and uploaded to tl frm pspx1.

All c and c's welcome.

Hello Jon,

Excellent shot with great perpspective.
The colors are very nice and I like very much the lighting and contrast!
Congratulations and TFS
Sergio

Hi Jon,
Very natural colours, this one is alot sharper than your previous shot of this canal. The early morning sun has exposed everything nicely, great composition here too. Good job.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Jon - brings back memories - I once sailed through the Caley Canal, must be about 20 years ago, which is scary!

Well composed with the foreground bushes adding depth and perspective. Nice colours and a lovely clear sky - nowhere more beautiful than Scotland when the weather is like this. Very typical Scottish West Coast scenery and a pleasure to see on TL. Nice saturation and sharpness.

hi Jon like this shot loos realy nice good details colours are sharp anmd good focus good pov correct amount of evrything well done tfs
regards bryan

Hello Jon,

This is great!
You have the dof just right giving fine details of the loch and the surrounding hills.
Good diagonal composition colour tones.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Jon,
I'm developing a strong desire to see Scotland. Your images are gaining brightness and sharpness day by day.
Ciao, Elena

Jonny, what a beauty you have here!! It's so smooth and clean looking! Nice composition .. the sky is great, the hill is well-placed within the shot .. just a really nice job on this one.
Have a good week my friend.

WOW Jon, this shot shows exactly what Scotland has to offer in terms of beautiful relaxing scenery. The dof is excellent and the detail in the hills are great although imo more contrast could be applied to them also the plants on the left hand side are a little over exposed.

Regards,
Steve.

This has to be one of the most naturally coloured uploads i've seen for a long time Jon.

There's no sign of exaggerated saturation.
The reflections and dappled light on the water is perfect, almost lifelike, without a shred of over exposure in the highlights.

The sky is so clear too. Totally haze free. Not often we get a chance to such clear crisp skies in the UK especially at such an early hour. (Not sure if a Treklens time stamp has changed anything, but looking at the metadata, I'm assuming 09:58 BST)

I'm surprised the depth given the aperture, unless the camera was set to landscape mode?

Yeah,
i like this. Very natural, very pretty, very well composed and very well done.

Cheers

Martin
