this just drips with quality Simon. The stack positioned centrally, surrounded as it is by that bright patch of sea and sky, works a treat.

Late evening is just fine for the quality of work you produce, I wish I could get half way there.
Great detailed colour composition, such beautiful tones in the water and sky, and my favourite wee flowers in the foreground.
Excellent opener to what I am sure is a series to delight us all.

All the very best and welcome back,
Dougie

All the elements are perfectly in place - the centrally placed stack sitting comfortably below the horizon line and in the midst of that brighter section of water beneath the break in the clouds; the spread of flowers extending across the foreground. An absolute dream.
