Slains Castle, Aberdeenshire

[pandabean]

I hope it is ok to post deviantart links. I am not at my own computer so I cannot get the original images. I took a few others but they were not as good.

Please let me know what you think. :)


This one was cropped slightly to take out a tourist on the left and adding a blue gradient to bring the sky, which was originally a horrible blue colour.

Taken in the inner part of the castle. Curves were adjusted and anothe gradient overlay for the sky.

This one was taken at Cruden Bay of on old boat.

In the boat picture, I don't like the fact that the white boat behind is just kissing the left frame of the picture - otherwise, it is quite nice.

The other two shots, of the castle, make an interesting contrast in lighting that compliments the subject (The Ruin) as opposed to the backlighting for the (Gates of Freedom). I'm assuming that most viewers would much prefer the nicely lighted scene in comparison with the silhouette. So, The Ruin is my favorite of the three.

Thanks Robert. :D

I couldn't think how else to take the one of the boat, unless knocking the white one over is legal :lol: . I could clone it out but I haven't got much free time to do so plus I am not really that great at cloning. :oops:

Me neither - just wanted you to know where you would be losing points in a competition.
