Description Meall Meadhonach is one of the two peaks on the mountain of Suilven in Scotland's Inverpolly National Nature Reserve.

As I said to Alex, you two are lucky barstewards, being up on Suilven & Assynt. I was there in '71, in winter & a blizzard, but it was still amazing when the sun came up.
Nice one, Jake

I feel lucky. It was too much to take in at the time, what a place and good for you getting up there, not too many do.

I was in my 20s at the time, and had been rock & mountain climbing for 5yrs. At the time I was stationed at RAF Valley, on Anglesey, with a SAR squadron. A group of us decided to do some winter training, so took a week's leave that February.

We were well kitted out with cold weather gear, as we knew what to expect.

Nice composition, I like it. It does look like there is a bit of a colour cast though...my sky is bluer...

Could be but i like it. Do you think it needs correcting? i set the WB up warmer than the shot to accentuate it.

Alex37 In reply to JakeSpain [2011-05-01 14:54:37 +0000 UTC]

well I would correct it but it depends on your perception of the WB at the time really. I would say it was cooler, but I dont think this is unreasonable

I like "not unreasonable" it kind of has a feel of "on the edge" about it which is where I was aiming....
