This is a small babbling stream in Scotland I had the distinct pleasure of spending some time at in June. It gave me a rest from some of bird photography I had been participating in. The shot shown was taken mid afternoon when the sunlight seemed to be strongest and is the result of two images blended together (as I didn't have grads with me). I have been experimenting with this type of shot after seeing some of Ian Plants, Floris van Brugels and David Clapps on the ESS forum and have tried to add my own slant on it. C&C Welcome.

I like this one a lot. Nice treatment on the water and good crisp greens in the background. I've tried this kind of shot and always failed.

Nice capture of the sunlight through the trees.

Great foreground and the exposure blending is spot on. Nicely done. Tristan

Love the effect you have created here Ian,and the portrait composition suits the image so well,the sun trying to break through the tree canopy is a brillant touch
