Magical Mellon

The coast is unique in that it presents a new landscape for your lens at the change of every new tide. The old is scoured clean of foot prints and debris and replaced by a new palette unblemished and perfect save for a bit of seaweed. Dawn coincided with a falling tide and I found this little piece of artistic perfection staring straight back at me. The palette of colours from bronze of the meandering peat stream, through red speckled sandy beach, to turquoise water beneath a typically Scottish violet sky and indigo mountains was exquisite. Moments like this make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up like static electricity. NEW!! Photographic Workshops and Masterclasses at TRANSIENT LIGHT

Super colours and tones that strikes me first. Then from the top to the middle the picture is three layers, sky, mountains and then the lake. From the bottom the winding flow of water returning to the lake. It works and is super picture but is really like two images that flow into one that are united with the colours and tones. Top marks.

Well perhaps but only by about half a stop. The sky really was this ominous colour and the grad was brought down to the sea level. I personally think the reflected light in the sea is about right. The sky directly above the sand was quite white so more light was kicked up than normal. Overall I am happy with the way its presented.

Extraordinary shot - "tiny creek meets the great ocean"... I personally could shoot such scenes only and forever... ;-) Great composition especially benefitting from the great pastel-like colors. Very well seen, captured, composed and edited.

Lovely and subtle colours. I also like is that you are quite close to the image plane. There is a similar landscape close to me but sadly, to capture it I would always have to be positioned 10 metres above which ruins the perspective.
