Moray Firth Sunset
Posted by MaryP (Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom) on 25 November 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
On our way back from our Isle of Skye holiday, i could see the sky changing to these beautiful colours.Further along i spotted the stand of trees ,silhouetted. Had to stop and 'snap' this. Have to make a confession, the flock of geese i added. No other additions or manipulation except for a small 'tweak' of saturation in Photoshop cs3

Wonderful sunset. I like the composition giving the most part of the space to the sky, colors and birds. The silhouette of the trees is enough to show the naked nature of the fields.

If the geese had been 'real' it would have been a unique shot.

Impressive... if you hadn't said, I would have guessed it was in Africa somewhere!

@Daryl: My thoughts exactly, when i saw the results of what i had captured. It's the trees. They are in fact a 'stand' of Scots Pine.
