Description

It's THAT castle !!!!!!............Eilean Donan Castle at Loch Duich.......who can resist taking a few shots of this inspiring location....I couldn't !!

I've presented it as a sepia toned mono, as the original colour version doesn't have too much colour in it ?, due to the back-lighting.......but
I'll upload the colour one as a version tomorrow......but I submit this mono as the main one !!

Grateful thanks for the response to 'Objet-de-Mer'.......glad you liked it !!!

great composition - my mind is running riot here - what is that in the foreground (not the pebbles) looks like a dead animal with long legsI can see an eye to Wink

The lighting is excellent Keith. You'll be hard pushed to beat this with colour.

Wonderful view.
The low angle composition is great.
I like the fg detail and it works well in the sepia

A great choice of f/g., full of interest and detail, and with a timeless quality to it. Very fine composition and shot, Keith.

The old tree root washed ashore is a fine anchor for your visit to the castle.

Beautifully composed and captured. V1 (my favourite) works very well as a sepia toned mono because, as you say, there isn't much colour in the original anyway.

I reckon its a stunning shot in both versions. Wonderful use of the old tree stump as foreground and the light works so well. One of the best images of this castle I've seen in a long time!
