A View from Sleat

Knoydart from Armadale, Isle of Skye (Canon EOS 5D, 28 mm, 1/15 sec at f/22, ISO 400, HDR merge with Photomatix vibrant preset)

This is a slightly artistic impression of the view from Armadale on Skye looking towards Knoydart on the mainland this lunchtime.  The actual view was pretty dull, colour-wise, so I used HDR to bring out the contrast and then merged the images using Photomatix 5.1.  The resultant image was still a bit dull so I applied various artistic presets and felt this was quite nice, albeit a bit brighter than reality.  I applied the same basic approach to the photo below as well.
