Re: gallery review

Are these made with film, or a digital camera?  If they were with film, the 
technique of pre-exposure against a gray card would render more detail; or 
with reversal film to plus expose and pull development would also give more 
detail in the dark areas.  These techniques were developed expressly for 
dark almost night and photographing into the sun.

The lack of detail is not at all satisfying to me.

Achal,

thanks for the review! Of course, actually I took quite a few shots on this 
occasion. I liked this one because of the silhouette effect, but some of the 
others are much more original.
Here's one that might fit the bill of  "environmental drama":

This one was shot at the same time, also at Loch Morlich and rain just 
started to fall.
Some other pictures from Scotland:

Lorenz Bobke: Sunset over Loch Morlich: A nice shot. Very stereotypical 
though. Would have liked to see the person standing rather than bending, it 
would have helped the composition. But the person was doing what he was 
doing, so it is the way it is. If I were you, I would have made the 
environmental drama a primary subject and the boat a secondary object in the 
composition by taking a wider view; also would have put the boat in a 3rd 
rather than right in middle; but that is my view and you have conveyed 
yours; it is very subjective to say what is right and wrong, only choices 
that differ.
Thank you all for your submissions and an opportunity to review. They are 
all wonderful and there are here because you were compelled to shoot what 
you shot, that is reason enough to celebrate and enjoy them.
