      Cracking long exposure, I like the way you have managed to capture movement in both the sky and the water, which seems to emphasise the static nature of the island in the top of the frame. Wonderful.

      Great shot, although I would use the large size on 'Black'.

      impressive, polished sweep of a shot.

      Classic Rob Hudson, the tone of the water is great. You could have done with Seans inflatable rock for the foreground though. :-)

      Wonderful portrayal of this beautiful spot. We'll have to start a group for this island.

      Sorry Mike, it appears to be working for me.

      Capt'n its large now too.

      Thanks everyone.

      great job, very dreamy and dark.

      Stunning Rob, was up there a few weeks ago, taking a few guys from a tog forum on a Beacons trek. Guessing this is shot from the Fan end rather than the pontsticill end? Whichever... It is a fab shot. Clouds and exposure make this with a lovely subtle bit of foreground!

      Moody and certainly not mean! Beautiful rtreatment of this scene!

      Awesome Shot...its really marvelous...

    31. distant voice (52 months ago | reply)

      Rob, it is not available large for me (even in the link that you provided) but the island seems to be a little bit too bright and so looks fake.

    32. Rob.Hudson (52 months ago | reply)

      Thanks M, I've been wondering myself whether that might be the case. Ah well I'll do a little adjustment :)

      Edit...

      Michel I've darkened the island a little. Hope that helps.

      Thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll try to get the "on black" link working, but in the meantime I've added you to my friends list so you can see it large.

      Cracking shot Rob.

      Hey Rob, I really like this a lot, very nice work. do you get problems with a vignette with the P series filter holder at the wide end of the 10mm sigma?

    35. Angie Adams (52 months ago | reply)

      This is good... it appeals to me as there's something different about it. Can't quite put my finger on what at present!

    36. kapilk (52 months ago | reply)

      Beautiful
      thats it.

    37. FfotoMarc (52 months ago | reply)

      Prefer this composition to the portrait - as the wider view and wonderful sense of movement give more power to the island as a focal point. I like the visibility of the under water rocks - a sense of being at the threshold of different domains for the imagination - under and over the water - very Celtic ! The colours of the island in the portrait version a little more intense than this - would prefer a little more colour here, but not too much.

    38. distant voice (52 months ago | reply)

      It is much better for me now and the possibility to view it large is a big advantage. Thank you.

    39. chippyrob (52 months ago | reply)

      Nice shot Rob, love the movement you've created.

    40. King Adam (52 months ago | reply)

      This is awesome I love the mood of it.

    41. photofool (52 months ago | reply)

      this one is wonderful too. i think the islands is too center for my liking, had it was placed off center with the slope line leading down to the trees and with the water movement ... the shot would have more impact, just my humble opinion.

      i like the vertical version better between the two.
