This image, along with the others below, were taken at the beach at Glaick this morning while walking the dogs.  I think these nicely reflect Eilish in her natural environment, i.e. outdoors, as she is much more relaxed and happy than the ones I took a few days back in the kitchen.  I have decided I think that I prefer portraits in black & white as I think they show the tones much better and the colours sometimes can be a bit distracting.  I also like the slightly softer tones, achieved in this case by slightly reducing the clarity in Lightroom.  I also darkened down the sky in the background which had the effect of making Eilish stand out much more.

Ripples on the Sand at Balmacara Beach (Canon EOS 5D, 28 mm, 1/13 sec at f/22, ISO 100)
I liked the effect of the ripples in the sand left behind by the receding tide, with Sgurr na Coinnich in the background but to be honest I don't really think it worked as well as I have hoped.  I am not sure how I could have composed this better but the this version has been cropped as the original wider angled view was really a bit boring.  Maybe if the photo had been taken a bit lower down, closer to the sand, it might have emphasised the beach disappearing off into the distance?
