These are superb Shaun, I bet you are glad you bought that lens! To my eyes, these are better than any you've shot with the Siggy 10-20 - do you agree?

These are beautiful Shaun - the third is my favourite; superb composition with the red boat (I won't make any comments about how you could colour pop it - I think it's getting old now! :lol
How did you process the skies? When I look very closely, there's a slight blur to the skyline. They are really lovely skies though, with beautiful subtle colours.

as for the sky being soft I can only say it could be the filter I think?

I don't think Will said the skies were 'soft' Shaun, he said there was a slight blur to the skyline (where the land meets the sky).
I can see this on the third one, but a lot of lenses produce this type of effect and to my eye it's pretty minor and not worth worrying about.

David[/quote]well i can say it is real could be a glow from the light as the sun was just going down and the sky was just starting to get that special warmth and light to it great to see

Here are the three main categories of light on any landscape.
Light Quality – Is the light soft (e.g. overcast), or harsh (e.g. sunny)?
Light Direction – Where is the light coming from? Is it coming from the side of the subject, the front, or the back of the subject?
Light Temperature – What is the colour (temperature) of the light. Is it warm sunrise light, blue light at dusk, or neutral light of mid-day?
Keep these three categories in mind as we explore how to make great mountain photos.
the reason i say this is light can create an halo or a light cast thats why some times this can happen but looking at this closer it looks ok to me.
there are some who dont go by the rules and put skys in and there is nothing wrong with this they just need to say,it is a pet hate, like dave honesty is the best.

Richard belive me if i had i would put one hell of a sky in there, but i have had a great weekend in the lakes and you trust me you will see a sun soon
as for the thing you say over light ?
Back-lighting
Back-lighting emphasizes shape and form. The most extreme form of back-lighting is a silhouette in which the subject shows no colour, detail, or texture but just shape. To get a successful back-lit mountain shot under clear skies generally means waiting until the sun is directly behind the mountain, or shooting just before sunrise or after sunset to get some colour in the sky to add interest to the shot.

All taken with the Pentax 12-24mm so was trying it out for the first time.
