Kayaking action shots and scenery of scotland

[Dustyw536]

First time posting in this section hope it works (just tried once and failed)

Went up to Scotland for a week of kayaking and thought somebody may be interested in the pics (got to use my new SLR for the first time in a while, a 450D with 18-55mm kit lens)
Just getting used to the settings, any constructive criticism welcome, particularly the photoshoped one.

Nice set of images there mate. Th. Photoshop one is quite obviously photoshopped and not really my thing, but I particularly like 2 and 3

where abouts were they taken?

cheers, the photoshop one was a request from the guy in it. Ive not done a lot of editing before so thought id give it a go but I agree it is pretty obvious, not sure how to make it less so.

Number 2 is the falls of falloch, not sure exactly how we got there, we stayed in fort william and it was a 45 minute drive from there.
Number 3 was during a hike up to a small tributary off of the etive near fort william also.
