31 May 17 Reply I have the brightness turned down to about 80% on my mac. May 20th
31 May 17 Reply looking at the image again, I tend to agree.
It looks as though it has been printed on sandpaper!
I shall start again from the raw file.		 May 20th
31 May 17 Reply Some work on contrast and brightness is always worth trying.
I shall have a play.		 May 18th
31 May 17 Reply Your comment about the water is spot on.
I usually try to achieve a shutter speed of about 1/2 second when photographing such scenes. I have no idea why I did not do so on this occasion.
As the location is only a few miles from me I can easily go back and try again.
The water level may be lower now as the weather is "improving". Perhaps in the autumn and winter?		 May 18th
31 May 17 Comment A dramatic portrait of an intriguing character.
You have created a super image.

31 May 17 Comment The image shows us very well just what hippos do.
The foreground does let the image down a tad and I feel that Peter's changes are just what is required.		 May 18th
31 May 17 Comment You did well to spot the potential here.
Without the man the image would be much less interesting.
Well done for actually using the situation to produce an excellent image.
I am with Ian and Ella in feeling that the image is a little too dark.
A bit more work on the brightness and perhaps contrast should improve things considerably.
An unusual and interesting image.		 May 18th
31 May 17 Comment A super image with excellent composition.
The long exposure is very well judged and adds so much atmosphere to the image.
Simply wonderful.		 May 18th
31 May 17 Comment So many photographer ignore this area, bypassing on the way to the Highlands.
The area provides so much to capture and you have chosen one of the best locations.
I am hoping to spend some time in Dumfries and Galloway before too long. I have much family history in the area which adds to the attraction.

Your image captures the essence of the loch very well indeed.
I particularly like the way the distant hills can be seen which is intriguing and makes me want to explore.		 May 18th
