Scotland view #1

[Mr Noble]

Not quite a patch on Carters photos but the first shot out of my new Ricoh Caplio R7. Just added a bit of contrast and sat. then shrunk to 750px and a little unsharp mask.

C&C please. (not sure I shrunk it correctally, seemed to loose a good bit of resolution after image size reduction)

Looks pretty fake on here now. No idea why??? Its looks great at the full res on my PC.

Help!

Nice shot, but way too much saturation added in pp

What settings did you use for the usm ? It can give a slight unreal look as it can add loads of localized contrast.

Nice shot, but I think it's the unsharp mask that's killed it rather than saturation. The rocks on the right look like they've suffered more from USM than saturation but I may be wrong.

I read somewhere that with landscapes the general advice is don't have the horizon halfway up the shot, but I guess that doesn't apply with reflections. I like it, try easing off the USM.
