Scotland in black and white

Thanks for entering Scotland in Black and White and for submitting this excellent example of minimalism. It has a very ethereal feel to it. Each time I look at it I see something else about the trees or the landscape

Thank you for entering the Scotland in BW competition. Is been hard to choose a top 10. This has made it because of the processing you have used to turn it into a drawing. With this processing it's definitely something I would hang on my wall. As a colour or even BW straight no processing photo I don't think it would have the same atmosphere. Thanks for thinking out of the box.

Thank you for entering the Scotland in black and white competition. This is an excellent image of a well photographed place.
The long exposure bringing out the clouds and softening the water around d the rock really adds to the picture.

Thank you for entering the Scotland in black and white contest. i love the atmosphere in this photograph. It has a very ethereal feel to it as if the castle wa just returning to this realm. Nice feeling of stillnss

Thank you for entering Scotland in Black and White and offering this image of a special place. I like the moodyness of this work the way the light hits the side of the long stone and highlights the others. Not an overly dramatic sky which is good as full focus in on the stones

Thank you for entering the Scotland in Black and White contest. I knew it was The Gill as soon as I saw this. It sums p a lot about Scotland, the nature of the pubs and the blurry locals having a post work pint

This has been a very hard contest to judge. So many special places and technical goodness.

Thank you for this wonderfully done photograph of the fairy pools. I like the different tones and the long exposure on the water freezing it in time adds to the magic of this place. Well deserved 1st from me

Thank you for entering Scotland in BW. This really is a striking photograph of the Kelpies.
The sky is very dramatic.

A very good angle to give a sense of how big these beasts really are . I like how it seems one is looking right at you

Thank you for entering this in the Scotland in Black and White contest. There were several pipers in the competition but I chose this one as. The piper is set in the landscape and you see more of that background.

Thank you for entering Scotland in black and White. This just shouts Scotland without being a shortbread tin lid. Well done in catching the action between the stags. This and the misty background just spell out the highlands for me
