I love this composition. I'd have probably gone closer to the gate, which would have been a mistake. The gate is just inviting us to walk through and up the mountain.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

Another old gate. And this one's got a lovely craggy hillside in the background. Nice shot, as usual, Andrew.

Thnaks everyone, glad you liked it. Morre to follow as a when I get them processed.

I can do composition and can stand in the right place, I've got a great camera and lenses but it all counts for nothing without the right light.

I had one of those simultaneous uplifting and dispiriting moments in Criccieth when I visited the gallery of a local landscape photographer and realised after a couple of minutes that I've a long way to go... (actually, I knew that anyway!) www.IMAGESOFSNOWDONIA.COM
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thank you for sharing the link, Andrew. Enjoyed them with envy. You're so right, the light is terribly crucial and I should add the sky which is void blue most of the time over here, unless there's rain coming and that is very very rare at this time of the year.

Excellent composition Andrew, what a balance from front through mid right to the far mountains. Oh yes the light! wonderful, clear.

This is my idea of a "Drop dead gorgeous " view. I can look at this kind of image all day
Best Regards, Larry.

All the gear & no idea.

Many thanks, everyone. Right place, (definitely); right time. Very little post processing beyond levels and sharpening.
Best wishes,

Andrew
