Thanks Maggie. Not too happy about the dof but the light was not the best.
Kevin Skinner
Wonderful landscape. Simple but beautiful. These solitary Scots Pine always capture my imagination – makes me wonder how they survive against the elements in these exposed places. Anyway, wonderful :-)
Ranald replied
Thanks Kevin. Sheer determination I think. They do make the trudge off the beaten track well worth it.
Veikko Suikkanen
Wonderful capture Ranald, so lovely landscape and magnificent colours!
Ranald replied
Thank you Veikko. It is a wonderful part of Scotland.
Terry Mooney

Beautiful Ranald, i love the lone Pine and moody sky! The Pine is amazing.
Ranald replied
Thanks Luis. It’s our only native pine (pinus sylvestris) and my favourite tree. With this one, you can see the wind, even though it was not blowing. The clouds do help.
Garth Smith

Graeme Pettit ...
Cracking composition – love the natural light and reflection
Ranald replied
Thanks Graeme. No fiddling with light for me. Can’t be bothered. Even though I shoot in raw and could mess around for hours, I’m just too lazy!
Wendi Donaldson
Wow…. the pine tree really makes this image, Ranald. Looks stubborn, like the Scots! ( I can say that…I am one. LOL)
Ranald replied
That’s what I thought too. You know Wendi, you can take the girl out of Scotland…...
David Clarke
Excellent shot, Ranald, superb composition.
Ranald replied
Thank you David. I do try!

I rather like this image because the viewer could imagine being there, and for me at least, brings about a feeling of contemtment !
