Outer Hebrides, Scotland. For those who asked, the highlights in the grasses are tiny flowers.

D800, 31mm, f/16, ISO 200, polarizer, blend of 3 image for dynamic range.

Thanks for looking!

Lovely light Alex. Is this the Scarista Salt Marsh? Were you there with Ian Cameron? Fantastic place. I was there last year with him but not at sunset. I recognized the shapes immediately.

Nice capture of the sunset light Alex. The curve in waterway is a nice fg, and the colors are nicely reflected in the water. What are those bright specs on the ground?

Wonderful river of light. Just curious as to the specular highlights in the grasses?

Just saw this on 500px. I liked it there and I like it here.

Very nice. I like how you decided not to brighten up the fg for 'tonal range', as that would have taken from the mood and complicated the simple graphic nature of this image.

Love the twists and turns of the stream, and the orange reflection really makes it stand out. I would play around with lightening the grasses a bit so the blue spots (flowers?) don't seem so out of place.

Very strong comp and light. You certainly nailed this one. Really like the rippled water and the way it catches the light.

lovely - like everything here - the darkness, the s, the sky, the flowers - in short, everything about it.
