The Black Cuillins - Skye

Posted by MaryP (Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom) on 19 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The Black Cuillins is a small mountain range on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.This view is taken from Elgol on the South West of the Island.The boat is returning from a trip to see seals .It was the spread of the bow wave that caught my eye.

Yes, you had a good vantage point from which to capture the expanse of the wave. Nicely done.

Very nice shot, I'm wondering where the boat is coming from... is there a village?

@Observing: Hello !Observing, no village, just rocky oucrops in the water on which the seals are to be found.

brilliant view captured here! i think that the boat is a great focus point and the water trail behind really opens up the rest of the shot as I follow it with my eyes...

Espectacular. Extraordinaria definición. Preciosa la estela que deja el barco
en su recorrido pareciendo querer salirse de la foto... felicidades.
