Stirling... Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Stirling (Gaelic: Sruighlea, Scots: Stirlin) is a city and former ancient burgh in Scotland, and is at the heart of the wider Stirling council area. The city is clustered around a large fortress and mediæval old-town beside the River Forth. Historically it was strategically important as the "Gateway to the Highlands", with its position near the boundary between the Scottish Lowlands and Highlands, and its crossing of the Forth, the nearest to the river mouth.

This is a view from the main door of its castle.

I hope you like it

Good morning, Oscar!
A photo with a lot of details to be detected. A wonderful overview which malkes the eyes hike. I like espcecially these beautiful and a bit hazy hills in the background. They create a good depth into this picture. A really worth-seeing place ...
Greetings from Germany!

Hola Oscar,

That big tower who is sticking out on the right is a 100% eye catcher and creates a perfect eye leading focus point. Interesting note, never heard of this place, but looking to your eyes to this pictures it's sure worth a visit....very good.

Regards,

Henk

Hello Oscar,

A superb landscape, a superb view too to this city and its environnement. I like the contrsat between the city and the valley and the hill/mountians with the castle. An image rich in various details very well collected.
Have a nice evening,
Roger

Vaya foto que has sacado, excelente vista panorámica de l;a ciudad captada desde un alto POV. Me gustan los diferentes colores en las montañas y por supuesto la inclusión de la torre sobre la colina.

Hello Oscar,

Interesting landscape where the town is resting nicely between the hills!
A fine postcard, a well composed presentation wit a fine sense of depth...
I particular I like how light plays on the background hills and fine details and good sharpness!

¿Sabes porqué Narcís Reyerta critica tus fotos?
Porque cada día te pareces más a los ñoños participantes de OT.

No hay calidad.

Precioso paisaje (muy bonito) que hace la foto.
No has sabido darle nada más al paisaje, solo has usado una (lee entre líneas) buena composición (muy buena) y una paupérrima profundidad de campo (¿f/4.5?).

PD: si mañana no voy a Valencia (que es mi idea) me echas una mano estos días para mirar un PC

Hi Oscar
Very nice dominant POV with interesting difference of contrast.
It was a good idea to not include the sky.
Best regards.

Hola tío...

Valió la pena la subida al castillo, no?. Gran amplitud y bello panorama, asi como un perfecto encuadre.

Saludos, John
