 So much for a nice walk up the hill, i'm so unfit, this was terrible! But, when you get to the top, it's definately worth it!

Used Shadow/Highlight to brighten up some of the darker areas, USM and a tiny bit of burning on the guys white t-shirt.

nice shot but not a terribly interesting perspective. (is the horizon a bit tilted?)

It was nice weather in Edinburgh at the weekend wasn't it? A lovely shot with effective use of focal length to provide the right sense of space and freedom. Nice composition with figures and the sky adds greatly to a sense of drama. Only slight quibble is that it not that unusual a viewpoint - hilltops are fairly usual places from which to gaze. However, I'm not being too particular about this as what's usual to one person is unusual to another. Well done. (challenge you to spot my pic taken in Edinburgh:)))
