The Calanish stones

Photographers Comments
the standing stones at calanish on the isle of lewis in the outer hebrides, on a typically scottish day.

Nice one Terry, love the lighting and the dramatic sky. The texture on the stones is amazing. Well done!

Hey mate....fantastic pic!

I see you have checked the 'YES' in the edit my pic option.
Hope you don't mind but had a two minute play. I love the look of this place, really mystical looking and dark.

I have gone a wee bit OTT ( I am a weird freak though, bear that in mind)

Just another approach mate. This image lends itself to many interpretations..its a cracker.

You've captured the spirit of the place really well, Terry. I like the spot you have chosen, as most shots you see were taken with a wider aspect to show all the stones (my own included). Its refreshing to see a different take on the scene.

While i love the original, i also have to say that TCO's play around with the shot is spot on too. Well done the both of you!

thanks for your comments guys,have to agree with Paul, Tco's version is much better, I haven't had time to have a good play around myself with the shots I got, looking forward to making them even wierder.

Tco's version is better, but the photo had to be captured in the first place, well done an an excellent image, top marks mate.

I like the original immensely.
It looks really good copper toned too.

Tco, would you mind giving me a rough list of what you did to get that effect? you dont need to go into detail just a list of the workflow, pretty please
