The Buachaille
Posted by Alun (cheshire, United Kingdom) on 5 June 2008 in Landscape & Rural.
This is taken from around the back of the kings house hotel at the top of glencoe in the highlands of Scotland. This was on my blog about 2 months ago but not the same as this one.

Super composition and colors. The textures are great, the eye being led to the far mountain.

I like it. The grass looks so lush and there are several different elements and textures in this photo that make it a wonderful capture.

Alun - this is wonderful. The way the clouds are at reverse angle to the stream creates motion and interest. Well done.

This evokes the scene in the movie "The Queen" where Elizabeth's Land Rover stalls in a stream around Balmoral.
