I went up to Lochindorb on my half day this week. It's probably the most isolated parts of my practice area where patients still live (a farmer and a gamekeeper I think) and lies just outside the national park. The road was still unploughed. I hoped for some ice on the loch but being so exposed and windswept the ice was piled up at one end of the loch and not in a pretty way. Instead I went for the 'lone tree' composition. It was really cold although the background hill was enjoying some sunshine.

Excellent composition with a very good lead in line
Wow Jeanie, thanks for the compliment and UA! 
Thank you all for your comments John, Sue, Martin, Jude, Joline and Herman!
As for the sloping horizon Martin and Jeanie 
, I think I see what you mean. My hotshoe spirit level seemed to be spot 
on and I wonder if it's the curve at the head of the loch giving it that sloping appearance? I'll have a fiddle in PS and see if it corrects, will post a version if it does!
Wow, thanks for the UA, Sue!
And thank you for your comment Jeremy
Quote: Didn't even notice the horizon in the original, but agree it looks better now you've straightened it.
I like the fact that it is not one of the usual scenes we see from up here - definitely going to search it out now though
Sue
There's a fair amount to shoot around here Sue but I guess you need to do your research first to be able to get to the best bits. Lochindorb features a couple of times in my portfolio, it has a castle on an island (Wolf's Lair inmy portfolio). Happy to offer suggestions if you ever make the journey!
