Hi Michal, this is a striking photo - moody and atmospheric because of the low clouds and subtle glints and reflections. Great light helped you to produce a really sharp image. Perhaps it needed a human figure or silhouette of some kind to add interest or a focus point, but it's a very pleasing image nonetheless. Regards,
Ryno

Hi Michal,

a really nice picture. The contrasts between the various parts of the shot really stand out.

Hi Michal,
I guess you had to deal with an almost overhead sun and you did so admirably cropping at the right area. The clouds look beautiful.

Bonjour Michal,
Quel superbe ciel et quelle lumière agréable pour inonder cet endroit plein de charme.
Un tout bon pov.
Je m'étonne que cette vue n'ait pas eu plus de succès mais cela va surement venir!
UN excellent week end
Denise

No doubt those clouds are absolutely brilliant. Dumbarton is a nice place. Did you climb the small rock somewhere at the hill's bottom. From that small rock you can take some pretty catchy Dumbarton's panorama shots.

Cheers!
