Old man of Storr during a Moon rise. I went for a green and greyish colour grade for this image to reflect the mood set by the moon. I feel the contrast between the silver/greyish sky, clouds and the lake really matches the green of the grass/mountain

Very well done. A lesser artist might have tried to make the foreground brighter, but I think you nailed the exposure/mood.

Thank you! You are actually spot on with the thought i had. I did not feel a brighter foreground would do justice to the mood of the image.

Brilliant, I would have liked a bit more green, but then again this is a refreshing change from all the shots we see from Storr, great work!

Thanks! Actually the funny thing is that about 30 minutes before this image I took that classic Storr shot. Yellow sky, close up of Storr from the view point.

As this was shot in Autmn time i already had to bring back a lot of the green and i did not want to go overboard with it.

Here is the classic one i shot before i took this one:
