OK, here's another one of my pictures, this time taken form on top of Binny Craig. Picture taken with a Sony Cybershot W 50, and all comments and CC welcome!

Those are great shadows on the terrain! too bad the sky is blown out.

Those rolling hills and the flocks of sheep (at least I think that's what they are) make for a beautiful pastoral image. Thanks for sharing this one.

Yeah, I like the shadowing on this one, kinda makes it more 3-D if you know what I mean. And yes, they are sheep, there were quite alot around where I was standing.

Erm, sorry if this sound noobish, but what does the above quote mean?

Lost definition. Fades/cuts to pure white. Not bad in this shot- sometimes it happens.

Looks cool to me.

It's because there's such a huge variance in the light. It goes from very dark at the bottom to very bright in the sky. What you have is not a bad compromise. The only way around it (outside of Photoshop tricks, I suppose) would be a split neutral density filter aligned with the horizon to darken the sky while leaving the bottom half as is. This shot could be a textbook example for using that type of filter.

Great Shot, I love the rolling hills!

I knew when I read the title that I may get sad by seeing this picture.
You have GREEN GRASS!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't be more jealous.
I really need to travel when it's winter here.

Great pic though. May I suggest cropping it a bit. The foregrounds a little dark and the skies a little to bright. If you cropped it a bit, like a panoramic I think it'd help

Thanks everybody for the comments. I'll try and crop it and see what it looks like. Dinodan, I might be getting Photoshop Elements soon, so watch this space!
