Commando_Memorial

Posted by Rhys (Darlington, United Kingdom) on 2 September 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Commando Memorial, north of Fort William. I am in a love/hate relationship with this image- Sometimes I look at it and like it other times I just don't think it works. I think its the sky. It really was like that...Mmm... I'm beginning to doubt it again...

woh....was that some post-processing done? how did u get that dramatic sky??? the top part looks like an fast flowing furious ocean waters....
somehow i felt that the wonderful skyline took away the attention from the main subject here.....

@Anthony: Yes Anthony, my feeling too, which is why I'm not sure if I like it or not. All I did to the sky was add a Gradient adjustment layer to calm the brightness down a little.

I think it is great. The P.P. works for my eye, the path leads you to the memorial then to the sky. It is very hard to capture water,I think you did a fantastic job + I love B&W.
