Description Fleet on FootWe had one most beautiful day on our recent trip to my cottage in Scotland and we took the opportunity to walk along by the Big Water of Fleet, the river that rises at Loch Grannoch by Cairnsmore of Fleet and flows down through the picturesque town of Gatehouse to the sea. I've posted shots from around Gatehouse and from along the Big Water of Fleet before, but I think some more are in order. I find it a magical walk on a beautiful day.
This is the view upstream a few miles from the source. I've constructed a seven shot pano using the Microsoft Image Compositor Editor, so there is plenty of detail if you zoom in. The Sun, still pretty low in the sky, is more or less behind me. The second shot is taken from the same spot, but looking downstream. The Sun is roughly behind the tree on the right. Note the difference in colour balance between the two shots.

Many Thanks

Many thanks, Bob. I thought there was a lot in this shot - the different tones from different foliage.

I like how the bark of the main tree stands out against the darkness!    Its a nicely done edit. (although lately, with all the rain we've been getting along with gray skies, it's a bit depressing. ^^

Well observed, Linda. That is where the skill of working in monochrome comes in - just balancing the tonal adjustments to get such details correct.

Many thanks
