Borrowdale crepuscular rays

[Ken Rennie]

A newly processed image from Borrowdale, together with an image originally processed in 2018. I was lucky enough to witness the crepuscular rays scudding across the sky and took multiple images. My original image was voted the best British landscape image in 2019 and I didn't bother processing any of the other files until this week. Ken

I sure see why the award, and I like the new one better.

I like the feeling of depth in the first image with the better visibility to the distant mountains and canyons. The second image has much better definition in the rays but at the expense of the mountains behind.

Ken,
two fantastic images...I do like the original one more, has more depth, shadows and nicer comp.

Those light rays are amazing !

Another nod to the first image. I’d be very happy with the second one in my stash too.

I like them both. They have different stories: the 1st is more in depth - more of a grand view and the 2nd more focused, with stronger rays.

Awesome Ken! That #2 one is really awesome and really improves on the first.

The photo really has me thinking, that this is a location I should visit, but then the name? Something about the name I find very appealing. Not sure if another trip to the UK is in the cards, but I sure would like to visit there.
