Desolation

The twisted skeleton of a long dead tree in the Scottish Highlands.

What a great shot. The color is wonderful as is the composition with the twisted branches, the rounded hills and the reflections in the water. Very nice! Congrats Katherine

Wow!!!! Love this photograph! Love the reflection..the tonal quality...Great perspective!

Amazing colors, great composition. Congrats.

but didn't imagine Scotland the way you showed us. Very nice shot Simon. Are you sure you are in the right profession? :) Perhaps you should find time to search for more subjects for your photos. This one to start with is magnificent! The stillness of the imagine in beautiful. Reach colors work very well in here.

 

Regards. Paulina

Another fantastic landscape. Love the near mirror image...would never have guessed this is Scotland. Thanks for sharing! Mike

 

Fabulous image in every respect, color, detail, composition and emotional appeal. Well thought out visualization, congrats and thank your for your time in commenting on a couple of my images. rek

a beautiful photo and congrats on getting it published in Landscape Photographer of the Year.

The reflection of the water creates a very attractive image, but her beauty increases with the tree that breaking the image and reflection. Congratulations. Best wishes. Vicente.

Love the variety of contrasting elements, blue/orange colors, the smooth sweeping lines of the landscape VS the jagged, chaotic lines of the tree, just beautiful!

This is an incredible surrealistic image! What a terrific composition, and fabulous colors. You've caught some great interplay between the shadows and light as well. At first I thought I might be bothered that the tree was cut-off, but looking at it now I think it really adds to the surrealistic feeling. This is very, very well done! Cheers! Chris

Wow, what a great photo. It almost looks as if this could have been taken on another planet. Now, you have made me more determined to visit Scotland, especially the Higlands. And, I agree wholeheartedly with Paulina, maybe make your New Year resolution to become a ....Professional Photographer...Honest!

Another gorgeous shot in your splendid collection. The juxtaposition of the tree over the background makes this looks like a surrealist painting.

I see that you shot this on Xpan film, I would love to see what the original uncropped looks like...

Fantastic landscape composition!

I love reflections and this one is amazing; surreal for sure. Just amazing, kudos!

So many good words all ready said. Bravo, bravo, bravo.
