A remarkably good reflection. The composition is very well balanced, while the foreground water adds depth to the scene.

A perfect capture of this THE most photographed spot in Scotland!
Great contrast against the sky

superb DOF
good POV
What equipment was used and PPW carried out in the making this composition?
I am genuinely interested as the clarity is remarkable

I guess this is what a lot of people call "fairytale".
What a landscape, what a composition.

Lovely!
Well done

Hello Majiek,
I like the way you have focused on the context rather than the much-photographed castle itself. The composition is beautifully balanced and the clouds and remarkable reflections are captured with brilliant natural colors. A lovely image indeed.
Regards,
Mary

A good one but hard to say if it is a picture of a castle by the lake or a picture of a lake with a castle! Anyway a remarkable shot. The details in the water are excellent and add a great depth to the perspective.

Great photo of Eilan Donan Castle, I like the weed in the Loch to the foreground and the reflection of the clouds.

cheers

Witaj samotny wilku,

dziwne, ze jakos do tej pory nie natrafiłam na Twoje zdjęcia, a są wspaniałe. Muszę sie im dobrze przyjrzeć, te z Norwegii robia na mnie niebywałe wrażenie. To jest też bajeczne Wspaniały krajobraz z zamkiem, widać rosnące w wodzie wodorosty, na to nakłada się odbicie nieba, trudno to opisać.

Wszystkiego najlepszego w nowym roku, dalszych takich super zdjęć (r闚nież na TE :))

hi Maciek
and happy new year.
a fine landscape, typical of this country with the famous castle.
nice POV : there is a balance between the green hill on the left and the castle on the right. I like the large place accorded to the water in the composition. the beautiful light emphasizes its mirror look.

Hi Maciek.
I just don't know what to say...
It's everything so alive, full of live! The light is fantastic and the definition from the foreground all the way to the background is absolutely superb! The compo is also very good.

Congratulations for your work.

Hello Maciek
Although I'm usually drawn to your B/W imagery, and although this scene must have been photographed as often as the Eiffel Tower, I couldn't help stop, look and comment on this photograph. As ever, it's all about the light, and in this case also the colour and the reflections. The colour is superb without being aggressively saturated, and the composition is spot on, with the castle in a classic rule-of-thirds placement.
Regards
Will

Hello, an absolutely magical image. Great reflection photograph. Including so much in the foreground makes for a wonderfully in depth image, one that appeals to me personally. I have seen other images of this most popular castle and this one stands out becuase of the magical sky and clouds and your choice of POV.
TFS,
Karen
