Photographer's Note
I encountered this scene on the way back from photographing Tuam Castle. The light was incredible and this photo really does not do it justice. This place is Acheracle, where my grandmother's family come from. The landscape of the Scottish Highlands could not be more different to that of Australia. But for some reason, this scene seemed really familiar to me. Like something out of a dream that finally came true.

Ciao Lisa,
Indeed, a dreamlike scene and how beautifully you have captured it. A lovely long perspective down the river with its delightful reflections towards the distant mountain. Sublime lights and colours. I wish you a very pleasant weekend.

Hello Lisa,
The colours and light and the very peaceful scenery, looking almost untouched, make this remind me very much of a 19th century romantic painting. Not bad for a 2016 photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Lisa,
Soft and warm backlight is indeed great. And that view is certainly picturesque. Curving river glows on backlight and everyhing around it is spring fresh and green.

Ciao Lisuccia
posso fare anche a meno di commentare, sai benissimo che amo questa luce e penso, come tu dici, che dal vero sia stato incredibilmente bello.
L'acqua sembra oro fuso, neanche Goldfinger poteva immaginare un fiume così...
Buon we

Hi Lisa
Lovely tones from warmer times! This gorgeous spring scene makes the heart sing, so quaint and picturesque, a place to rest and relax, or watch the fish!
it could be a film set, and how it means to you!
I love the quality of light and clarity in depth particularly the detail in shadows despite the strong backlighting, and wonderful how the shiny reflections of that calm water adds to the image's appeal guiding us through the scene and beyond!
An evocative setting thoughtfully shot, Congrats
Best wishes

Hi dear Lisa
The light is very beautiful indeed and the colours make it look a bit like sepia, an artistic vision of reality rather than a picture of a real place. It could be Australia or somewhere else as the image captures universal quality of the landscape.
Best wishes

Dear Lisa
Nature is everywhere in the world but there are specific to these common skin and beauty.

Hello Lisa,
You are right. This looks familiar , like a Australian countryside scene. Healesville perhaps.
Very scenic. Invokes feelings of melancholy,... or excitement for the trout angler.
Warm glow over the top of the trees. Lovely.
cheers,

Hello dear Lisa,
this looks like a dream-like, timeless scene to me too. You managed to capture some characteristic features of the landscape in a delightful, well-balanced composition which is also graced by harmonious tones and a very romantic mood. A mesmerizing image that could illustrate a poem or a novel. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hi Lisa
I had to take a second or third look when i found out this was taken in Scotland...i simply didn't believe it lol
well written note, this photo has a personal side to it and of course that makes it a thousand times better.
and you're right, I bet this scene was best viewed in person, no camera could do its justice. We'll just have to be jealous of you i guess :)
you do seem to capture a lot of peachy pink skies, how do you do that? really like the solitude of this place, i can feel my heartrate slowing and my BP lowering just viewing it, or perhaps thats the alcohol and pain killers lol
lovely mood, lovely tranquility.
PS
Yes, i'm going to Portugal in a few days, leaving April 20th, arriving 21st - so whats that, tomorrow for you? lol
I'll be flying into Porto right away, probably 3 days there. Then renting a car and driving down to Lisbon for perhaps 4 days. Then driving down to the Algrave for the rest of the trip. Won't have enough time to explore much of anything else as its only 12 days. But it'll be fun, its my first solo trip!
cheers
Craig

Hello Lisa
I am back .......
Such a sublime light on this wonderful sight over this river. The scene emits a true tranquillity and calm that is very soothing.
We will be in Scotland for two weeks in late May, looking forward to the incredible nature and wildlife of the highlands (and the Whisky as well of course ...)
have a great easter weekend

Hello Lisa,
A romantic natural scenery and very beautiful with the little curves of the river and the contours of the mountains on the horizon.
The trees stand out well against the bright yellowish light in the sky which is nicely reflected on the water surface.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Lisa
Splendid image with a rare and beautiful light which you only can see if you have a lucky day. I understand that you say this photo doesn’t justice this incredible moment. This is light you must experience life and I suppose also the sound must be part of the scene.
Yet, a fantastic presentation.
Have a nice day

Ciao Lisa,
I may have seen less Scotland than you did :)
Beautiful scene captured in an extraordinary light indeed! I like the brownish green color tones, fantastic final effect!
I must really go up there some day. It is just the bad weather which discourages me a bit, having limited holidays I prefer to either go south or visit family in Poland...
Excellent work!
