Bowfiddle Sunset

Sunset on a rough day at Bowfiddle rock near Portknockie on a Summer

evening with pink thrift in full bloom. Good to be alive.

Beautiful image with nice warm colors and balanced composition.

Ian, this must have been a thrilling experience, to capture something you planned for such a long time. Aside from the brilliant images, I am always glad to read the story behind them. I used to be a die-hard user of film and it was mainly your shots that inspired me to get a 67II back in 2008. I am very happy I had. Best regards. Peter.

Ian,  Wonderful image.  The light and sky is most artistic and is complemented by the foreground flowers.   I really like the delicate look of the pair of rocks in the center.  Nice long exposure of the water as well.  Yes, a sight like this gives one appreciation for life and nature.  Larry

Very good! Made it a favorite. I only wish I could this well.

Things I like: the soft waves and ocean, the bright wave color in the middle to draw the first attention, the foreground-middle ground-background composition, horizon at upper third line, rocks in the lower left corner to form a base from which to start a more in depth look, rocks to the right to bring the eye back into the picture, a third rock for balance, a hole in the middle rock to add interest, the color and a cloudy sky. The pink in both the flowers and the sky also adds balance. This could be a study in how to compose an image. A painter could not do better.

Suggestions for improvement: none

Is a so peaceful image caught here in a warm nice low light,from foreground to bg horizon line can admire the beauty of nature so as it is from long time and hope to be so.Nothing more to say than compliments and thank you to share this nature jewel with us.
