Jon, having been to many similar places on a number of occasions in weather very like that in your picture, I know that there is a gloomy and desolate feel that is hard to do justice to in a small image.
I applaud your attempt..however, as I feared, it does not seem to show up too well on the average monitor.
Maybe something as simple as one shaft of light falling on the side of a hill and bringing out some colour would have made the difference.
Once the weather up here improves slightly, I hope to "get up them hills" and try for something similar.
That looks very remote indeed. The muted colors and low clouds give it a great isolated, remote, and somewhat chilly feel. The curve of the path is good, well placed, and makes me wonder what is just over that hill. Good shot!
As a Scot, I'm drawn to this shot as it reminds me of the moors in the Cairngorms. Very effective shot anyway. I really like the mood created by decontrasting. 9
Very like the Scottish Highlands here.
Good image, nicely composed but looks a little bit underexposed ..IMO..needs an injection of colour and and a little more light to bring it to life.
