Critique Welcomed A Kind Of Blue

4 x stitch taken from Chanonry Point, Fortrose looking towards Inverness and the entrance to the Great Glen.

Superb!

 

[Brian Moore]

What a stoater that is!

 

[Tom Dunne]

Douglas, you have constructed this perfectly without an ounce of stitching evidence that I can see.. A large pano is always impressive in scale but after the initial view of the vista, composition wise, I find this a bit empty, for the want of a better word and without a lot of interest to keep the eyes working.
But it has technical perfection written all over it.

Tom,

I fully accept what you're saying, and I suppose on hindsight, I'm looking at this view with a great deal of knowledge of the area, and knowing that central to the image lies the opening of the Great Glen, with the enormously long Loch Ness beyond and an almost arrow straight line down to Fort William and the west coast...

Without that, I suppose the image is quite minimal and empty...

Beauty and the beholders eye...?

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Superb Dougie , open space I like with the touch of red . Nice one.

Chanonry Point, Fortrose looking towards Inverness and the entrance to the Great Glen.

I going there in June to, hopefully, photograph dolphins and can't wait.
Any Dolphins while you were there?

 

[Pete Askew]

I like the tranquility and almost abstract feel of this Dougie. I can imagine that, printed large, it would be a real mood piece.

Glen...no dolphins on this visit, but we've watched them here before...only an hour or so from home, so a bit spoiled....seals a-plenty, plus loads of wild-fowl...

 

[Paul Lange]

I like the emptiness and the big sky as well as the way the image is made up of horizontal bands. I also think the mostly blue tones with the little splash of colour is great too.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I agree to what Paul says here. Very nice, well he did not say that, but.....
