Photographer’s Note
Image 9, and final posting in my Scottish Highland travelogue.
A view of Faochag, Kintail, Glen Shiel. This image, taken 2 days after my previous posting shows very different weather conditions (-3C). Snowstorms are rolling through in waves from the North, accompanied by very strong winds. All this snow appeared during our ascent - we didn't spent long on the tops in today.
PP: removed colour, contrast masking, selective USM.

this is really an excellent photograph david.
the black and white tone is really good and so is the composition. although this photograph doesnt quite have the feeling of " we've made it !!!"
i love the way everyone is looking at the howizon towards the other mountains. their body language has a lot of determination. it seems they all are looking at their final destination :)
very well done
take care

I really like this shot David.
I never travelled there in the winter.. Seems very cold. The black and white is a good choice.

I think your greyish B&W is a fine rendreing of the first thin snow on a windy day in the mountains. At first I thought you had too little contrast but judging by your friends trousers and packs you are correct. A grey picture for a grey day. Nicely repeated diagonals in the ridges. A good choice letting the crestline come out of the corner.
Noticed on your intro picture that we had the same barber when we were kids, I also had a haircut with a skew cut over the eyes. No matter how my mother complained that barber never got it right. So he apparently moved to Scotland later!
