United Colours of...Scotland!!! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Somewhere in Scotland...in the middle of nowhere I took this picture.

How I took it? Easy to understand. It had been rainning for days and stopped for (more or less) 2 hours...so I left my hotel near Inverness in order to get a picture of its mountains...and that's the result.

Don't ask me where I took it. The only thing I now for sure is that this charmful place is 30' driving from Inverness...north direction.

I hope you like it!

Salut Oscar!

Landscape is not your usual cup of tea and I like what you've done here while in Inverness. The summery colours are still in full swing, with vivid green and a full palette of citrus hues. The blue sky always work magic when blended next to these greenish tones.

I once have an haircut in this charming little town... Never again!

Cheers!

André

Bonjour Oscar,

Une belle découpe de la scène en tranches horizontales, tout cela dans une diversité de couleurs qui se marient bien; La photo rend bien l'aspect valloné du paysage qui respire une extrême tranquilité.
best regards, Daniel

Hola Oscar,
Una linda vista muy bien enfocada.
Me gustan los suaves tonos y el contrate
de "layers" con distintas tonalidades.
Saludos... Maryori :)

Bon dia Oscar,

Bonita foto con colores estupendos. Si le hubieras dado más "cielo" sería la bomba.

Qué bien aprovechado el escaso buen tiempo de Escocia.

Susi

You got a fine landscape capture here oscar. The colours, lines and shapes makes a fine result in a well made compo. Nice place with good details.

Floydian (30970) 2008-11-03 6:13

Hi Oscar,
Well, Shotland and good weather, you must be lucky ;-)
Something else than a rough coastline or old ruins and how i love to see this. Could be anywhere, but i would never had related this to Scotland, therefor a big hurray for bringing up something new...well done.
Regards, Henk

josepmarin (33785) 2008-11-03 7:26

Hola Òscar,
quin ensurt! per un moment he pensat que havies anat a Cocolàndia a fer aquesta foto.
Però no és Castella, és Escòcia, i els camps tenen un color atractiu, barrejat amb un cel suposo que poc habitual allà.
Maca foto,
Una abraçada,
Josep
PS: potser sí que aquest any disfrutarem, de moment va molt bé.

stelli (2941) 2008-11-03 8:44

Excellent array of colors but I understand you got lucky, since this is not the typical face of Scotland! Thank you for sharing! Regards Stella

cherryripe (18869) 2008-11-03 9:19

Hola Oscar
Con tu titulo imaginaba mas la hierba de color azul y un cruz blanco en el medio. Pero, asi me gustan los diferentes colores y la luz bonita. Que suerte que tuvistes un poco sol.
Un saludo
Nikki

fanni (8733) 2008-11-03 10:42

Hello Oscar,
what looks most amazing (to me) in this picture is the combination of two colours: yellow-golden and blue! they enliven the whole shot very much and create a very sunny cheerful mood; but a very nice addition is the trees and their shadows on the sunlit green grass! I like the warm colour gamma; the composition is just excellent!
best wishes,
Elena

toni_al (15430) 2008-11-03 13:16

Hola Oscar
Menos mal que es Escocia y no Inglaterra, si no lla no la comentaba, como gano Hamilton y no lo puedo ver...
Porcierto raro que tengas sol, pero le queda muy bien
Saludos
Toni

ElAprendiz (7370) 2008-11-03 14:34

Hola Tigre:

Es como raro encontrar un paisaje así en el Reino Unido. Pero esas formas lineales de diversos colores, no se pueden desaprovechar.

Me gusta el titulo. Saludos...

John

Emile (19883) 2008-11-03 20:48

Hola Oscar.
La verdad es que estas poniendo unas excelentes fotos en TE, este paisaje del campo de Escocia esta estupendo, me gustan mucho los diferentes colores del valle y la montaña. Encontrar en ese país una día tan soleado es como encontrar una aguja en un pajar, estuve allá hacen 6 años y todos los días fueron nublados y fríos.
Muy buena foto mi querido amigo

mikeo (12113) 2008-11-04 0:41

Hola Oscar!

Very delicate, calm, peaceful...
I like all these horizontal 'layers' created by sky, mountains, trees etc.

It seems to be 'only' a landscape but its original one!
Greez,
Mikeo

John_F_Kennedy (31197) 2008-11-04 3:15

Good contrast with the colours yellow, green, brown and the blue of the the sky is amazing. Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

pablominto (40402) 2008-11-04 5:22

Hello Oscar,

This is a fine mix of moors, fields and forest, presented in this attractive layered composition!
Good late summer colours, and the sky contrasts well with the landscape...
Fine details and an interesting colour combo!

Greetings,

Cretense (55690) 2008-11-04 7:23

donluicu (23923) 2008-11-05 12:40

Olà Oscar

what i like in TE, is to see the progress, the improvment of "old" members, as passes the time..
here's a great capture, nice compo, great colors...
the treatment is perfect..
would you say that without TE, you would have made such beautiful pictures as your lasts!!..??

congrats

PixelTerror (86038) 2008-11-06 1:24

Hola Oscar,
From someone from sunny Catalunya, visiting scotland in autumn must be quite a depressing experience... so I can easily understand that you rushed out seeing the first sun rays ! Nice landscape showing a variety of colors and with the trees filling well this otherwise rather empty place.
Saludos JY

danos (32198) 2008-11-06 5:05

Hola Oscar,
really a nice canvas of beautiful colors consist this beautiful scene.The layer of the trees in the foreground make the shot more attractive.Well done.

Have a nice afternoon,Danos

angie-barcelona (1845) 2008-11-06 14:57

Hola Oscar,

tinc una foto gairebé igual... copión! Però és clar... ara qualsevol la posa!

Molt bona la combinació dels colors... no és les meves preferides, però m'agrada és clar!

Gemma

PD: a ver cuando se te ve el pelo!

Bonjour,
belle photo de ces ensembles de couleurs qui vont du blond au brun en passant par le vert.
Jolie vue d' ensemble.

Amitiés Thomas

bakes888 (18101) 2008-11-07 0:59

Hi Oscar. You have to make the most of fine weather when it comes! Wonderful colours and textures. Well composed and thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Charo (31665) 2008-11-07 4:08

Hola Carlos,
Menuda gama de colores! en miniatura pensé que era un campo español, pero no, siempre imagino Escocia de un único color, verde.
Sencilla y bonita foto.
Un abrazo,
Charo

azaf1 (15541) 2008-11-10 1:41

Ciao Oscar
I love your creative imagination with the title and certainly the composition does justice to it. Lovely Scottish colors in the rolling hills.
TFS and have a great week
Argiris

pamsutherland (42) 2008-11-14 19:07

This picture surely takes me back to Scotland and particularly the area to north and west of Inverness. You can see just a hint of the heather. Before I looked I thought that this was taken in September, just past the height of the heather. It the greens, the yellows and blues that dominate when the sun shines in Scotland in September and you have captured them in this photo. I hope that you got some good photos on your gray days. My photo workshop on Skye was dominated by gray, but I still got some wonderful images. Our leader kept insisting that the color was better when the sun wasn't shining.

coco (27766) 2008-11-17 23:43

Si tan bonito es aquello... ¿por qué no te quedaste?

Me haces pasar vergüenza ajena... Aunque, que sepas, si no fuera Narcís Reyerta... la foto hasta me gustaría.

fayeulle (26543) 2008-11-21 22:03

Hi Oscar
Very nice colours here with different strips. Are we really in Scotland ? The sky is blue ;-)
Cheers
JP

faubry (32277) 2008-12-10 0:54

Scotland will not be Scotland without green land... superb composition with this curve anc blue sky at the top; i like it

Didi (35998) 2008-12-16 16:15

Hi Oscar
This nice view reminds me a place of Auvergne in the Puy de Dôme area.
Very beautiful colours divides in 4 parts from this nice point of view.
Best regards.

jafadabret (39357) 2009-02-13 6:43

Bonjour Oscar.
C'est une photo qui fait penser à un tableau. De belles courbes et des couleurs sublimes.
Un régal !
