Hi Chris
this is certainly a WOW photo.
how long of a hike was it to the top?
difficult hike?
i bet it was worth it!!
lovely shot, and i think the overcast atmosphere made it that much better too.
the clouds seem so close, you could reach up and grab them.
good shot
cheers

Hello Chris,
I like very much how you've placed the textured rock and the hiker at the side of the frame offering sweeping depth and an overwhelming view around them. There's superb clarity throughout the vast landscape, the light, colours and mood are fantastic. I also love how close the clouds are to the mountains and the way the opposite hill stands out in the valley. A magnificent picture, congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Une photo typiquement écossaise par le paysage et aussi par la météo! Super panorama depuis ce point élevé qui incite certainement à la méditation sur la beauté de la Terre et la place de l'homme sur cette planète fragile...etc..etc...
Amicalement
JJ

Hello Chris
Woah, that sight was surely worth the hard climb up. Stunning view. The crispness and colorss are amazing even in this overcast condition.
By the way, I prefer hiking to in bad weather, don't ask me why.
have a great time
Daniel
