Kilchurn Castle, Loch Awe, Scotland

Superb winter landscape and I like the dark silhouette of the trees against the hills. The mist adds and extra element to the image.

Great use of the stream to move the eye to the focal point in the composition. A beautiful image in all respects.

Excellent landscape! Can feel the cold from my desktop but also the warmth of the sun from the background. Thanks!

This is one of the finest landscapes I've seen on PN in a long time! Ethereal and mystical, and some really amazing lighting conditions! I visited the Getty Center art museum, in Los Angeles, for the umpteenth time, the other day; and went through an excellent "plein air" landscape painting exhibition from the early 1800s. One of the artists, Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes encouraged other landscapists "...to include ruins, famous or anonymous, in their landscapes...in order to create a harmonious union between nature and architecture." You have succeeded on all levels with this photograph. This is a terrific "historical landscape." This has gone into "My Favorites." Happy New Year! Cheers! Chris

Excellent composition well well well done.

Thanks for all your encouraging comments. I planned this composition on the previous evening and returned at dawn to find it covered in thick mist. It was then a case of waiting until it had just cleared enough to see the castle. Glad you liked the result.
