I agree, the title is superb with the work.
Love the deep yellow on the building, strong focal point off center, much lightness variance. Great work
Ranald replied

Henk, thank you so much. I have been wanting to amend the original for some time now. Seems the wait and work was worth it. Thanks again.

Edith Farrell

You have made this home such a beautiful part of this landscape. the lighting really brings out the elements in this! Edith

Thanks. It’s not really a home as such but it certainly could feel that way if youwere out there in the winter. It’s a bothy or mountain shelter which is free for all to use. The lighting is really special.

madworld

Anyone live here? I love these shots of yours, they give me a sense of being in a different world, well I am really ;)
Ranald replied

It’s a bothy. Anyone can go and stay there for free when out walking in the hills. you have to treat bothies like your home (even if there is no running water, no electricity, no toilet, no furniture (get the idea?) and leave it as or better than you found it. When we were there, there was a group of youngsters and their expidition leaders (the latter stayed inside, the former outside). Different world? S’pose you are!

Dennis Gay

G’day Ranald!

Man this is masterful!!!!!
I really like the mood you have created here – a wonderful low key light painting.
A very interesting subject in a great setting, composed and photographed extremely well.
I feel a deep sense of loneliness and isolation yet I can’t take my eyes off it.
You say you gave a lot of blood for this one. I hope you have healed well.

Ranald replied

Hi Dennis, thanks for the wonderful comment. Yep, I healed but the midgie bites left large bumps for a couple of weeks. It’s only the females that bite!
