A freezing cold morning in Glencoe, the sunrise had been a tad disappointing but the light was still good and I'd already bagged a few shots upriver of crazy ice formations (see further back in my stream), there was still plenty of snow about from the previous day and a little bit of low cloud drifting across the Boochle.
I wasn't going to shoot this scene on this morning as I've shot it loads previously, but walking back from upstream and getting to this point it just looked so good it would have been rude not to! I'm really pleased with this one too as it does differ quite a bit from previous shots with the snow and low cloud drifting along.
I'd read somewhere online on a forum some guy was ranting on about using filters and silky water photo's being a 'cliche' and had been since the day the first ever one was taken haha, he had a proper bee in his bonnet about it!
Do what you like is my motto - and you can't really get more of a 'cliched' shot than this, with the location and slow water, I also have one of this location framed hanging on my lounge wall.
Cliché ? Maybe, but glad I stopped to take it.
