Thought I'd kick-off a thread for landscapes and scenery photos. To start with I took this photo today of the River Cart just west of Crookston in Glasgow.

Some super shots, a little photoshopping would improve them even more..

One of the first hints I got and most important when I started posting shots was to always make sure the horizon is straight... :-) It does make all the difference....

Great layers on the speedboat shot...!!!
