Untitled

An irresistable subject. The early morning sunlight reflecting off

the polished boulders. It really seemed to suit a square format.

IAh, i always fall for skyes, sea, round stones and castles! Imagine when i see them ALL together and so nicely arranged! Splendid!

And on top of it a little sun on the green pach!Super

That's an excellent contrast between the round stones in the water and the man-cut castle walls against the sky. Well composed and balanced.

Wonderful. And the white of the sea tempts me into uttering the forbidden text... 'silvery Tay'... I'm apologise, there was no need for that sort of language.

I fully agree the square...superb landscape and outstanding DOF...congrats

excellent!!!!!!!

Wonderful image again Ian. Just one comment, would like to see more colurs in the sky but I guess that is not within your control.

The sky accurately matches my transparency. I think it's gentle colouration is harmonious and in keeping with the serenity of the scene. A mre mackerel sky might have been nice c'est la vie I am content.

this is a high quality picture, Ian

this deserves more comments friends...

Magnificent seascape. As always, the moment is perfectly chosen.

excellent composition for a place that isn't that easy (I know I've tried). Seen many photos of Dunstanborough but this is really quite original. Square format suits it well. Well done!

The lighting and the colors and the elements are perfectly balanced in this composition.

The composition is excellent, and your use of the split ND is unnoticeable. Judging from the perfect framing, I assume you were at this location for some time before this exposure was taken. Did you take any shots earlier in the morning, when the light was warmer on the clouds? I would've also tried a 3-stop ND - a little bit more detail in the rocks might have added to this image. But it's a great image nonetheless. Congrats!

I've seen this subject in a book by Joe Cornish, 'First Light'. This is a nice verion of that scene.
