Sunbiggin Tarn, a photo from Cumbria, England

Photographer's Note

Out and about catching the late afternoon sun, I was trying to record an image of Wild Boar fell, a distinctive landmark in these parts. I thought it might work well viewed across the water of this tarn, but as I crept nearer to get JUST the right angle, and as my feet got wetter and wetter in the boggy ground, this vista opened up instead !

Enjoy !

Location. The Little yellow man wont reach here, but can be viewed about 200m away.

You have achieved an extremely beautiful light effect. It's so warm and intense to makes your picture such a unique. Very well done.

Hello Martin,
Worth the wet feet I think. The light is lovely and the reflection on the water subtle. The composition works very well with the diagonal fence leading to a tree across the tarn. Beautifully presented as usual.
Best wishes,
Ann

Hello Martin,

This is a beautiful shot and worth wetting the feet. Love the light, colors and sharpness. I like the subtle reflection in the water. The wild grass and the diagonal fence give that special beauty to the image. Well composed and framed.

You've stumbled on a little trasure here. It's beautiful countryside for sure and the light makes it exquisite. Particularly those wonderful silvery and gold tones on the water. You captured it so well. I also like the diagonal line of the fence in the foreground. Great job...worthy of a nice Irish WhiskEy to treat yourself with after an arduous trek ;)

Thanks for sharing and thanks for correcting my spelling - you'd think that after drinking so much of it, I'd know how to spell it :)

Hi Martin,

Stunning light and colours in this one! A very well spotted opportunity, you have managed to find the perfect point of view here creating a nice diagonal in the foreground whilst maintaining the balance of the image, just the right amount. Thanks for sharing.

James

Hello Martin,

This is a lovely photo taken from a good angle I always find it nice to capture the old fence posts barbed wire etc; adds interest & character to the shot - the reflections & pretty sky are very nice - overall a peaceful image to enjoy looking at.

Kindest regards,
Dawn.
