Cheers Dave, Nicholas....I nearly ran to the top to take this... it had been raining most of the morning and then the cloud lifted a bit to let the sun through. It is a stitch of 3 shots taken with a 100-400 lens @100mm

Amazing sense of scale in this photo Duncan, great light as well, nice one.
Beautiful image, great light and really delicate PP work(if any), so often its tempting to ramp up the contrast but I love the soft graduation between the tones.Lovely composition aswell. A worthy 5*.
Thanks Mr Mills, Sean... other than the stitching and a bit of dodge and burn, not much PP. As soon as you started playing with levels it started to degrade the mist and shadows. Deciding on the crop however.... spent ages deciding on how much sky to leave in. Too much and the white knocked it off balance.

Just revisited your gallery Duncan and this photo again stands out. Wonderful light - I know all too well that feeling of running to get the shot!! Would be good to see some of your more recent images
