We got up very early when we saw the sunrise (a rare event in the far northwest!) to drive to Loch Assynt and were rewarded with this scene. Comments and criticisms are, as usual, very welcome. Thanks for your time and for looking in.
A big thank you to Dave87 for his UA on The Auld Bothy - it made my day!

I like the compo and the contrast between the colour of the hills behind and the gentle warm light. Great capture!

Excellent composition Ann, and the conditions are almost perfect. The low sun giving some great sculpting to the land and the snow lifts the shadows.

Very nicely composed Highland landscape, Ann, the more stark outline of the pines contrasting well against the snow clad mountain slopes behind. And a nice balance of light and shade across the frame.

I think I recognise this little island.
Lovely early morning light and the trees stand out nicely against the snow on the mountains.

Gorgeous Smile All too often I admire trees lit from one side like this and never bother stopping to grab a shot. And so cool that they're all on a little island type thing!

What's really special about this scene is the contrast between the warm glow in the foreground and the white crispness at the back.

Very well captured, Ann Smile

Loch Assynt fairly tugs at the heart strings Ann, nothing quite like see in snow on the land up here. It's been a good while since I've managed further north than Ullapool and the wonderful mountains of Assynt. Maybe soon with luck, keep them coming my friend, marvellous sight.
