Hi Richard, a salute to a scottish native from a scottish ascendant :)
Very well done and a very informative note. I didn't know that this existed.
Nice vertical composition on the dampener, nice gold colour. And the vertical line in the middle, enhances the vertical perspective.
Have a great day, Yan :)
ps: thx so much for your visit in "My Mother's Favourite Trees".
good comp and POV here richard :)
excellent framing, the symetry looks great

Hi Richard, Thanks for the comments. It is certainly an impressive place isn't it? I like your POV showing the ropes it hangs on. Very clear and good colours. Murray.
