Landscape Photo Competition 2014 No 1 : Entry Number 176

Judges Comment

Well this has been done often before but you have done it very well! All lines lead to the centre of this Glen. You have split your composition straight across the middle to create those strong lead lines and you have given us a true feel of this highland scene. Your tonal processing is nice but has given the detail a rather grainy effect, though i do like the sepia look here.

This photo was taken in Glencoe, Scotland just before Christmas 2013. I battled strong winds, visibility of less than 10 metres in places, rain so heavy it was painful and bitter cold but it was all worth it for the shots I got. I had to wait for an hour in the car until the conditions were right for this shot, and the weather was so bad I only had a couple of minutes before I had to retreat again.
