Wonderful, well done. Bert

Thankyou all for the positive responses. I too like the understated colours. I've also got a version shot on RVP100F at ISO 200 which is much more magenta and untrue to the actual soft colours and luminance provided by the veiled cloud overhead.

There were another 2 chaps there with tripods clicking away, very rapidly racing from viewpoint to viewpoint loading up their memory cards - seemingly there wasn't going to be a tomorrow...

In contrast I put my pack down, scouted around a bit, sat on a rock to look at situation then made my mind up what the key elements were which I wanted to include. The answer was pretty much all of them, hence the 80mm!

Rock bottom right is somewhat soft. This was compromise on shutter speed with all of the ND filters slowing down the ISO 40 even further. In this respect, the 1 1/2 stop centre filter is fairly restricting.

In photography terms there wasn't indeed a tomorrow - a grey drizzly dawn materialised.

Stunning capture, Baxter! It literally feels as if I was there beholding it. Very very well done!
