I have worked on these images in Lightroom – using cropping, enhancement of the tonal range, some converted to black and white and the use of different aspect ratios. As I work on this project I am becoming more experimental in my work and the images more abstract as I continue my search for the ephemeral hiddenness of Skye.

It has been difficult choosing my favourite in this collection. But my Image of the Week is chosen for the vivid colour palette and the sense of depth created by the movement of heather and grasses.

Again, would be grateful for your comments.
Skye now well into autumn and plenty of opportunities for colourful images. Yours are particularly attractive because of the relative absence of warmer colours.
For me, autumn in Skye has two phases – firstly the heather and other late summer flowers, and then the more traditional autumnal colours of the trees.
My favourite is 2.5 : I love the graceful, translucent, delicate whorls / spirals and the inclusion of a stem asymmetrically traversing the foreground. The stronger bursts of colour are engaging but not overpowering and the white streaks are fewer and are assimilated into the overall piece, not dominant. 2.6 is a very close second . Oddly 2.4 also brings to mind urban high rise buildings perhaps seen through the rain; I very much like the surprise element.
2.5 was a close second in my judgement and I liked the slightly more subtle colours of this image.
Love the coloured images a time when the colour really adds an intensity to the image which is lacking in mono.
