Description


Hi everyone!Looks like it's back to Scotland,again!Lol! What you are seeing here is the main entrance to Balmoral which has been the Scottish Royal residence since 1852.It was originally a 16th century tower house built by the powerful Gordon family. I have hesitated to upload this shot.It's not the most exciting shot ever,lol!But I think it looks okay framed like this.And the shot actually has a sky in it,miracle of miracles...and that's a very rare thing,believe me! I also like that it has this almost illustrated look to it.I did nothing to this shot except crop it and clone out a big ol' barrel that was sitting in the middle of nowhere! I hope you like it.As always your comments and opinions are soooo appreciated.Thank you for looking!!! Thank you as well for all your thoughtful b-day wishes on my thank you (dedi) pic,"From the Bottom Up",and your sympathies regarding the death of 'Lappy' in,"In Memoriam".LOL,'Lappy' would be so pleased... ;) Have a wonderful rest of the week!!! Hugs,Marlene :)

It shows how well you kept the camera level and paid attention to the compostion in view finder. Artistic at it's best, and a great way for those of us who have never seen a castle to view one. Using more random places for cloning throughout the grass and the perhaps a smaller brush may have made this less visible.Just takes time and a few attempts.:)

The usual Scotish weather I see. I do have to say that this is a beautiful representation and certainly could qualify as the 'official' Royal Postcard of Balmoral Castle. Congradulations. -egmont

DARN YOU WOMAN!!!! DAAAAARN YOU!!!! After your first upload of Balmoral i thought i would give it a few months before i upload my shot of that same castle. I thought that perhaps people would have forgotten aobut it then and they wouldnt remember how pretty your shot was compared to mine...but now you go and post this one...SIGH!!! I might as well just trash my Balmoral-photo now. No way i can top this one. It is absolutely perfect!!! I loooooove your presentation!!! You should sell it to some of those Scotland-sites on the web and let them use it for advertising. EXCELLENT!!!! Now its time to take Eija on a walk, sorry for the loooooooooong comment!!! Brilliant work Marlene! Have a wonderful post-humpday #:O)

I had to smile at the intro comment about the sky. Here in Oregon the sky can remain a ubiquitous grey for months on end during the winter. It becomes a challenge to shoot a decent picture - you know, photos of mud can lose their appeal after a while. So I'm very impressed with this image - it's HUGELY good!!!
