How could you get bored of stunning shots like this!!
The colours are amazing and the clouds sweeping across the sky are wonderful. I love the reflection in the water too (i do have a bit of a obsession with reflection shots though!)

Very nice! I can almost feel the water on my toes!

As already said, nice colours, sharp and good lead in lines, although I would have preferred to see that main mountain just off centre.

I've looked at this for a long time fully enlarged, purely because I'm just stuck in the mindset that there's something not entirely right with it, I think the composition is just a little too abrupt for me, sure it has strong lines, but because they lead you literally straight to the mountain, your eye doesn't wander nicely around the image the way you expect it to with a panorama, it's kind of ticking all the 'compositional boxes' but maybe there's too much of a conscious effort to do so, but then perhaps I'm missing the point, and this is exactly how you wanted it.

Thanks for the comments on this image peeps. Will try a cropped version tomorrow (just got back from physio so not in the mood lol) and put the mountain off center and repost

What a splendid scene ... I would just like to Paddle My Toes and relax

Thank you very kindly Brian. When I return to Scotland in September am going to try spend a little more time in this area

Stob Dearg, I think? Nice shot, and well executed but I'm with Muzz on the composition. Something about being drawn to Stob Dearg too much. It might have been better not having the horizon line at mid-point. I might have stood more to the right, and used the diagonal line of the water to lead to the hill, which I would have placed towards the right of the shot. If that makes sense.
