single photos Slattadale Reflections

Slattadale, Torridon, ScotlandSlattadale is at the western end of Loch Maree and from there you can look across the sheltered bay towards mighty Slioch an imposing Munro. On still mornings a good reflection often generates itself and a majestic cloud flecked sky doubles up. It was on one such shimmering cool winter morning with soft sunlight playing across some flooded birch scrub that I was able to capture this delightful quiet and pastel scene. Motive is a difficult thing to quantify or describe but I find scenes like this evoke more than just my optical appreciation, it is a tangible feeling of being there, smelling, tasting and hearing the view conjures up a magic that transports an image to an altogether higher plane - this quiet, unassuming picture does that for me.Pentax 67 II ,55-100 zoom,Fujichrome Velvia0.45ND grad, f/22 at 1/2 Second. full exif
