Strata - a photo on Flickriver

Strata

Great little location in Glen Etive that yeilded a few images this freezing cold morning, if you look in the small pool of water you can see the last batch of hailstones that had fallen, big critters too!

I found this scene a bit difficult to compose as in Landscape format you are left with a huge bit of empty sky on the left unbalancing everything, switching to portrait has all but eliminated that leaving just enough around the snow capped mountains and giving more balance to the 3 sections of the image.

The rocks formations here are really curious, you can only wonder how this exact scene was created many moons ago, presumably in the Ice Age I'm guessing.

View large and have a zoom around :-)

Lots more images on my main website here - regularly updated
