Photographer's Note
The Kilt-rocks and the Mealt-falls as viewed on a moment of sunshine from the observation point above the falls in the Isle-of-Skye.
The rock at 57.6114, -6.1724 on the map, and the falls are at 57.6108, -6.172.
In the map, you will see a lake inland and there is a small canyon leading the water out and falling to the sea.
The waterfall, the rocks and the cliff bellow cannot be seen from the road nor from the parking lot near it, only when you get to the edge of a balcony-shaped plateau.
One more amazing phenomenon we experienced: there is an iron-railing on the cliff-edge's where the lookout point – and the gusting-winds blow through its rods, making a sound of a ship-horn's. This was something I wish I could convey along with the picture...
More from this place yet to be posted.

Hello Ike,
This is a magnificent view. There is a fine contrast between the blue sea and the brown, green and orange features of the land. The rocks are so high and steep that I would be reluctant to go near where you were standing. But the colours are beautiful and the waterfall makes a great view.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Ike,
this site is fascinating, the point of view so close to the edge of the cliff is breathtaking and you got an attractive perspective from it. I like the sense of height, the colours and the textures. The contrast between warm and cold tones creates a special character and atmosphere. The fence is an intriguing element that also offers scale. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hello Ike,
Wow, this is a magnificent and spectacular part of the coastline of the island.
The weather seemed beautiful. So are the colours of the sky and the sea and they make a good contrast with the green grass and the reddish tones of the other vegetation.
That must be an exiting place to hike.
I see a fence near the cliffs and possibly you've climbed over it to take this wonderful picture. I'd really like to see the water crashing on the rocks down under. But I'm afraid that would involve a too high risk. Anyway, this picture makes a visit of Skye a lot more attractive.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Ike,
The wideness of the sea is giving depth to the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the waterfalls and of the cliff. There is a good contrast between the colours of the picture. Have a nice day.

Hi Ike,
what a beautiful place, I like very much the shape of the cliffs and their color.
Great POV as well which allowed you to take in the waterfall in the foreground while placing the geometrically attractive cliffs in the distance.
The vegetation leaves no doubt it i autumn with the grass having interesting red color tone.
Spectacular spot which I have never heard of before!

Hello Ike,
The cliffs are so incredibly steep here and have a fantastic array of attractive and bright colours around the edges in the foreground. The composition is excellent, the contrast with the wide and calm blue sea is amazing.

Hello Ike,
what a dream of colours! What a beautiful orange tone in the grass (or whatever it is)! Take these colours, and you will get the pattern of an original Harris Tweed jacket.
Have a nice evening!

Hello Ike,
The grandeur of nature is portrayed quite well in your frame. When I saw the photo, I thought, "Oh, good, finally they had some sunshine." Sorry to read that the rain came back, but the sound you describe must have been quite a symphony.

PS. Did you take any photos during the recent fires around Haifa, have they been extinguished yet? It looks like Smokey Mountain National Park and Gatlinburg in Tennessee have suffered greatly, too.

Hello Ike,
A fascinating note, the actual whistling of iron filings as they drop. The colors and resolution are first-rate. Are the waterfalls coming off the top or from a cave mouth?
Have a good weekend. Warm regards,

Hello Ike
Fascinating picture that show the spectacular beauty of this part of Scotland. The warm colours on the land contrast great with the blue of the sea and the sky.
It looks like you are hovering over the cliff. I can imagine the sound you describe.
Beautiful work
Have a nice weekend.

Ciao Ike
interessante costa scoscesa e ripidissima, la cascata sembra come una ferita nella roccia.
Mi piace come hai suddiviso la foto, dando un leggero spazio in piω al mare, in modo da rendere piω ampia la visuale.

Hello Ike, A pity we can't hear this strange sound. Magnificent view. The cliffs like basalt columns look high and impressive. I wonder where you were standing - it seems a vertiginous place. Nice waterfall, fantastic colours of grasses. Splendid picture.

Hello Ile.
Superb POV, which captures a great perspective of these beautiful cliffs, with a great variety of colors, both in the rocks and in the vegetation of them, the water jet that we see falling in the foreground, gives a perfect touch to the beautiful image.
A magnificent color that gives much chromatic richness to the image.
Very good lighting management and very good sharpness.
Well done. I like it.
I wish you a good week.
Best regards.
Luis.

Hello Ike,
I have often noted that it would be great if we could offer audio as well as visual effects!
This is a completely different mood, created by the sunshine, which has lifted the colours and enhanced the orange hues of the bracken.
I love the cascading waterfall, so well positioned in your composition, and creating a big contrasting effect with the relative flatness of the blue sea.
The curving outline of the cliffs makes a fine guide and a good sense of depth.
Have a great day,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike,
The waterfall provides a nice focal point and the saturated colors are wonderful. Some nice warm cold color contrasts too between the burnt orange grass and the blue sea. Tfs!
