Two from Loch Lomond, in Scotland

[Vieri]

Loch Lomond is a beautiful loch, and I love to stop there on my way from Glasgow to Glencoe & the Isle of Skye, when I have a chance. Here two sunsets on the Loch, taken two years apart. First, a 2020 image, 3/5 of a second taken with my Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 21mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters:

Followed by a older image, this time a 1/5 second photograph taken with my (then) Leica SL, Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters:

Thank you for viewing and commenting, best regards

I love that tree out in the water in the first one. Nice reflections in the second.

Both of these are so cool looking. I think I like #1 slightly more but the mood in #2 is sweet also.

Wow. I like them both, but have to go with the 1st one.
It has so much going for it. the energy of the waves mirroring the sky and the palette of colors.
Bravo Vieri!

Brings back memories Video. I have walked, climbed, cycled, sailed and swam on, in and around Loch Lomond but have never managed images anything like as good as these. Ken

Both very stunning images Vieri. Hard to chose a favorite. I'd be happy to have either one hanging somewhere in my home.

Beautiful work. I love them both, but #2 is so peaceful - just what I'd like to stare at for a while at the dentists office. I would like a bit more breathing room for the tree on the right.

 

[Amy Earl]

Both are stunning images. Love the drama and action in #1 followed by the calm of #2.

Thank you very much indeed Jim, glad you enjoyed them and #2 in particular I would have liked more breathing room to the right of the tree as well, but it wasn't possible without including something ugly (don't exactly remember what that was, it has been years) composition is often a matter of compromises, and sometimes we have to settle with the best we can do, not with the ideal best...

Both are stunning images. Love the drama and action in #1 followed by the calm of #2.

Thank you very much indeed Amy, glad you enjoyed the contrasting moods, which was the point of my selection

Best regards,

Vieri

Both are special, but I find the water motion and the silhouetted tree make the first my favorite of the 2.
