Shining Tree

A blazing display of sunlight traverses the hills and temporarily

illuminates the tree so it shines against the velvet wrinkled table

cloth of the grass covered Quiraing on Skye.

A remarkable image.  The variation in lighting is extraordinary, from the gloomy sky and hills in the background to the lush and verdant hills in the front.  The tree indeed is a lone specimen that deserves the credit as the main attraction.  Bravo on an outstanding image.  And your portfolio is outstanding, as well.   

Wonderful shot of these hills.  I love all the really rich green.

Ian, that's a great image of a place that I love. From memory, that's the only tree for miles which is why it gets used so often. This image is far above the norm.

This is such a complex, rugged, and beautiful landscape.  You've handled the great range of light very well with the grads.

Super light and composition,your grads have worked a treat.

excellent exposure, very good light and details

A well photographed location, but your exposure of the beautiful light makes this shot stand out. Love the rays of sun through the clouds. Best wishes William

Wow....great image Ian. Impressive light and a beautiful range of greens and yellows.
