Another one from Buttermere

@grouser: Cheers Grouser.

@Warren: Thanks Warren.

@Amanda: Thanks Amanda. It's strange, if I include some sky within the frame the mountains look nowhere near as impressive.

@mmolinah: Thank you.

@Blackdog: I took the photo about a month ago and it was a baking hot day. The photo looks a lot colder than it was.

@Ted: Thanks Ted. I originally preferred the other version with the diagonal of shadow, but as time's gone on my opinion has changed and I think this is the better of the two.

@P J W Miller: Cheers Pete. The simple clone has made a huge difference to your photo. Much much better. I also noticed that you edited my comment. I've learnt something new there as I didn't realise it could be done.

@Florence: Thank you.

@RPepper: Thank you for your kind comment.

@Diane: Hi Diane, thank you for your comment. I quite often ponder the subject of skylines and whether they are needed or not within a shot. I've taken landscape photos in the past without a skyline and have found them to be a little claustrophobic. With this shot I don't get the same feeling and I think it's because there's a tunnel of light leading a way out. The subject here was the line of trees and how they and the grass were lit against the shadowed background. If I'd have included some sky I think it would have lost some of it's impact. The grand scale of the mountains would certainly have been lost. This particular location is very popular with photographers, with most people trying to capture the scene when there's a glass like smoothness to the lake creating magnificent reflections. The weather wasn't in my favour on this trip but in some ways I'm glad.

@John Leech: You're right about the late colours. I've noticed that too. Autumn photography is likely to be a bit of a let down this year. With regard the pic, the classic shot here is with dead calm water however I was quite chuffed there was a bit of a breeze so I could do something other than the typical reflection. I quite like the saturation. If you look at my other photo from here a few pictures back with the diagonal shadow, then compare it with my flickr version which is less saturated you'll probably prefer the more saturated one on here. Or maybe not. Let me know your opinion.
