[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a view of the rock formation known as "The old man of Storr", in the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye (Scotland), just north of Portree. It is a very scenic place, which can be reached climbing a rather easy path. This is a quite unusual view, as it was taken from below, just out of the path. The sky was quite interesting, and the picture came out quite strange.

it is a scan, this is why there is some noise in the photo.

Unfortunately the view doesn't let you see the amazing place that hosts the "old man".
You can see here an amazing picture of the same spot.

I like very much the colour saturation and the way in which the clouds seem to be emerging from the rocks.

Hi patrick,

It lacks a little sharpness, but the colors and composition are very strong (and the sky ofcourse)

Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Hi Patrick, I like the angle you've taken this shot from and the contrast in colours between the earth and sky.

Hi Patrick
Well, just a rock, huh!! But you have turned it into a beautiful one, indeed. Lack some sharpness, but the composition is good. Especially the white clouds appearing from the rock and joining the blue sky.
Cheers and Merry Christmas.

Hi Patrick, nice shot this !
Interesting composition with gorgeous colors. Good perspective and the angle.
I like the clouds in this context. Well done.
The best wishes, Aires dos Santos

Bella foto, mi paice la saturazione e l'abbinamento verde/blu. Sono un po' perplesso sulle qualità della macchina fotografica: noto del rumore e parecchia vignettatura (i bordi sono più scuri del centro - tipico di obiettivi troppo "piccoli")

Cores fantásticas...!!! O céu ficou muito "ativo".
Uma boa composição (POV)

Just rocks - but what great rocks they are! They really (er...) rock. Fabulous contrast and wonderfully set against those incredible clouds.

nice composition and beatiful colors. Good work

Hi Patrick,
i like the colors and composition...
very nice shot

I really love the way the clouds seem to almost be rising from the rocks, like smoke or mist. The deep blue of the sky and the bright green of the hillside is a lovely contrast. Very nicely balanced and pleasant composition. Well done.

Your low POV works very well here, Patrick, with the rocks framed by an interesting cloudscape. Composition and exposure is excellent - just lacks a little sharpness. Thanks for the link to Adam Burton's photograph - his was one of the best landscape photographs I have seen on TE for a while. Cheers . . . David

Burning rocks with cloud flame.

Great composition, contrast and colours. It could have been sharper, but it is fine like this too. The only thing is, it is a little grainy i think. If it was a longer exposure I guess I would have been perfect. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Patrick,

This is a very nice photo.I like the way that the clouds seems to be smoke coming out from behind the rocks.

Looks like a record album!!!! love the clouds
good shot patrick
