Portknockie, Moray, Scotland

A reluctant summer sunrise over the Bowfiddle rock with pink nodding thrift adorning the top of the cliffs. A beam of transient golden light forms a shining path to the rising sun just as it disappears into another cloud bank. Moments like this fill me with joy.

That is one amazing glitter path. The sky has some nice colors, including that band of pinkish, that's very nice. I would crop out that lonely flower at the bottom of the frame.

This is an amazing image Ian.  I love how the sunbeam aligns to the rock in the foreground and that glimmer of hope peeking out from under that ominous sky.

Ian,

Your work is always inspirational.  I love how the sun glade is sharply cut by the rock.  Its also great to see you still working with film.  It gives me encouragement to keep doing the same.

Beautiful. Very nicely balanced composition with lots of visual interest. Hard to come up with any improvements.

The light ray makes this a very evocative and inspirational image, Ian. Very nicely captured.

Always enjoy looking at your images, Ian. I like the purple bloom and grasses under that gloomy sky. The golden reflection on the sea  is quite special.

Wonderfully composed and some nice light too. I'm a fool for gray with pink and green too.

I'm wondering which rock created that hard edge on the beam.  It initially struck me as somehow artificial...a splice line in a vertical stitch or something, but it is a shadow, right?

Really cool, Ian.  Incredible light handled beautifully.  I agree that the lone flower could go away and I think I might crop from the right to rid the  right edge of the bits of cliff showing there.  Wonderful work as always.

The hard line in the light ray is caused by the rock beside the Bow Fiddle rock.

Really dynamic looking landscape with the lighting here. One of the most memorable I've seen from this location. Technical stuff and processing looks perfect.

Very nice image, indeed!   Lots of compositional elements that really make this image.
