Nice landscape. Excellent composition. This scene is just made to be photographed and you made it look good.

The focus on the tree is slightly soft, but I can live with it.

Excellent shot

good composition and really natural colors. I find the tree a bit soft on focus but this doesn't 'spoil' the pic.
Great job

It takes a lot for a thumbnail of a landscape shot to catch my attention - this one did immediately. Nicely composed - the tree "makes" the shot. I'm assuming the softness is just a result of the scanning process. Beautiful place.
Thanks, Nigel.

Hello Emma,

I can see why it would be a favorite, how beautiful it is.

And considering the process that you took to get it from a photo to us, makes it all the more impressive.

Wonderful countryside with its ancient hillsides and last lone tree standing by the water's edge.

Fantastic job, and great composition!

Thank you for taking the time and sharing it with us.

Hi Emma,
I love this view, seems to be a little cold, but so quiet and peaceful.
On TrekLens there is a challenge with special themes and they search "a lonely tree".
This would be perfect for it :-)
So thanks for your beautiful post, bye

Hi Emma, I like this alot. It really compounds the lonliness of the tree. The composition is excellent and the form of the tree is very interesting.

Great shot.

Hi Emma, I think its a stunning shot. Excellent POV, especially the tree in the front. Colours are well balanced and very nice lighting. Too me this kind of shots are hard to handle and its difficult to do a choose a good POV.
Also I like the way you show us this country, bit an african style.
I put it to my favourites for my own learning experience.
Thanks for sharing and keep them comming.

The composition is just stunning. It sounds like it was a great effort just to get there, let alone take the photo.
The colours seem a little muted, that is probably due to the scanning process, though.

This tree should catch everyones eye when they pass this spot - what a unique tree it is. How sad to be one of the last of the Caledonia Forest.
And I am so pleased you have this one framed in your home Emma, it is wonderful, thank you

Hi Emma,
I've seen this shot in your "Intro" page and it's really a lovely landscape. The sentence
The tree was a remnant of the Caledonia Forest which covered much of the highlands at one point in time. Most of it has now gone
touch me.
Thank for sharing! José M.

Hi Emma,

This is a beautiful capture, lovely contrats. The sky is a bit overexposed, may be if you had used a circular polarizer the colours would have been more effective. TFS

Hi Emma,

I really like the simplicity of the composition in this shot. I thought I'd have a play around with some of the functions of photoshop to see how different one photo can look with different post processing techniques. I've posted a workshop. Let me know what you think.

Dear Emma,
I spent in 2006 two eventful weeks in Scotland. Eventful in the sense of beauty, peace, crisp air and Scottish atmosphere.

Your photo encompasses all this plus the surprise of a giant Bonsai.

The natural colours resembling a 19th century painting - found in a gallery - yield the same sort of feeling.

I also like the gentle frame emphasising nature's frailty.

A beautiful image, beautiful presented - I wish to admire at will - and therefore add it to my favorites.

Have a nice evening
Kind regards
Ingrid
