england / scotland 2019 Scalpay XVI

Second attempt at posting this!

 

In the series Eilean Glas, I this this is the strongest composition because"

- the sweeping curve of the coastline physically connects the foreground to the island (the curve - as a form - is visually interesting in itself!

- the rocks and sea foam of the island are repeated in the foreground; again a strong visual; connection

 

For these 2 reasons, I think that this composition is stronger and more integrated than other photos in the series.

 

I enjoyed viewing the whole series and deciding which composition I preferred and why.

I'm Welsh but have lived in NL for 40+ years. Over the years, I've hiked quite a few times on Skye and on the west coast of the mainland, But I've never visited Harris or other 'Outer' islands.

 

I still feel great affection for this part of the world and its people.

 

Cheers,

 

Mike

Mike Morrell: Thank you for your (unusually long) comment. I have to say we consider Outer Hebrides one of the best locations for hiking in Scotland in last years (third visit this time). We were very disappointed from our last visit to Skye - lots of people on every "famous" location like Neist Point lighthouse and Fairy Glen, and even new paid parking on Quiraing and Old Man of Storr.

Nice depth, scene and view.
