Landscape Photo Competition 6 2012 : Entry Number 183

Congratulations! This beautiful black and white seascape wins this round of the landscape competition. It is a lovely moody shot of the beautiful view to the Cuillins on the isle of Skye. The Scottish weather has been captured perfectly giving this scene its charm. The composition is lovely with strong lines and balance, the long exposure giving softness to the sea and sky, adding to the sharp hardness of the rocks. This is a great effort, well done, a deserved win.
