Breaking Through
A shot taken on The Isle of Skye at a place called the Quiraing. This particular day I was hoping for some lovely soft morning light being cast all over the Quiraing ridge along with a dramatic sky. As it turned out a sunrise casting great light all over the scene never happened but instead a different but nevertheless dramatic atmosphere did appear with this grey/blue forboding sky casting it's shadow on the top of the ridge whilst the sun tried to break through and illuminate the cliff faces, hills, Loch and heather covered land below. On Skye it is extremely difficult to predict what the conditions will actualy be like, where there can regularly be four seasons in one day. You take what's given and try and show the drama that is Skye.

Nice light and mood ,, Congratulations Tim.
Tim Wilcock  Thanks Suliman. Today I was up on the ridge where the cloud is in this picture to see if there is anything worth capturing looking back the other way. Possibilities.....but I need some of the same drama as I had here.

Congratulations it's a beautiful place and picture
good to see spite of everything some image comes through from critique
but not many
Tim Wilcock  Thanks for the comment. I'm new to 1x and didn't realise it was a rare for images to get into the gallery after being seen in Critique first. Surely if you try in the Gallery first and it is rejected and then you ask for feedback in Critique and make changes, it is even less likely that it will be accepted if re-submitted?
keller  yes I know, unfortunately, not whether it is how the images are being uplodet to critique
whether they have been tried and uplode to frontpage
but I usually do and write about it have been rejected before:)
Fantastic light.

Tim Wilcock  Hi Richard. Didn't know you were involved with 1x. Good to hear from you and thanks for the comment. I keep an eye on your website but haven't seen your Skye shots appear yet? Great studio work still though.

Hey. hey Tim. Well done on publication, I think deservedly so even with my reservations I had. I might be heading that way on Thursday or Friday if that forecasted high pressure materialises, will let you know.

Tim Wilcock  Hi John
Did a minor tweak to the sky in the top left on the lines you suggested and it obviously worked as it now apears here. Thanks for the input and comments.

Tim,
I am very pleased to see this has made it to the FP. Your photo shows such an amazing place on this earth. I think it is the sun breaking through that appeals to me the most. A big congratulations. Phyllis
Tim Wilcock  Thanks Phyllis and for your input in Critque. Interstingly I have another, taken a month later, which loads of people like but which I suspect wouldn't get a look in here. Not sure whether to stick it in Critque as well for some input of try something completely different.
