Dun an Sticir

Some stills taken around Dun an Sticir, one of the many little island forts dotted around North Uist. One of the spherical panoramas, which I took from halfway along one of the stone causeways between the islands, actually makes for an interesting photo when viewed flat like this (with a bit of the sides cropped off).

I tried to recover some of the detail in the blown out skies using the tonal contrast filter in Color Efex Pro (available as part of the Nik Collection from Google) without making them look too much like hideously overbaked HDRs.
