Bonny Scotland

I've been in St. Andrews for the past almost two weeks and managed to get around a bit. This single image was created on a boat going over to the Isle of May, looking back at the town of Anstruther. Pano created in Ps with crop.

Hi John,

Lovely scenery. I would push the contrast a little as it looks a little washed out. I'm glad you are having fun!

Take care!

Thanks Max. I was looking through quite a bit of air and I think the haze reduced the contrast. Here's a version with the Linear Contrast preset in Curves.

Now we are talking John!! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Contrast boost is just what you needed. Composition is well thought out and in layers. Small strip of land in the FG, strip of buildings, strip of pasture and strip of sky.
