[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This image was taken this evening, we had just climbed the mountain in the background Ben an Lochan and crossed the road to this old ruin. Many years ago this would have been the only house for miles. The area is Glen Croe not to be mixed up with Glen Coe. The town of Inveraray is just a few miles further on.

Wow, this is an amazing landscape ! Ilove everything here : the vivid colors, the composition, the point of view, the shape of the clouds, and even those old ruins look fantastic. Must be a great place to visit. Very well done !

Hello Doudlas,

What a beautiful, atmospheric shot! I can feel emotion rising in me just looking at this! It is sad and lonely and moving all at the same time. If only it could speak!

You have captured it with sharp focus and lovely composition! The sky is so interesting and the light is good.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

wanderful, geat work...
I like this composition..

Hi Douglas
This is very moving to me.
Lovely colours, a very dramatic sky, I love the composition, and it's not difficult for me to imagine this dwelling as it once was. I really love shots like this that catch pieces of history, and you have done it so beautfully.

Hi Douglas,
Nice shot, I like old ruins like these and witha backdrop like this it makes a great picture, excellent POV with the rock in the center FG.

Hi Douglas,
You were able to create a wonderful mood in this photo. It looks a little like HDR. Superb work on the details and composition. I do however feel that the sky on the right side is a bit odd. It looks like some heavy barrel distortion.
TFS,
