Photographer's Note
The first official day of spring dawned clear and sunny, although the sun was quite hazy at times.
I decided to head to a location that would have the sunshine but also the morning mist below, so i chose St Helens on the far eastern tip of the island.
I was hoping that there would be a little less mist below me on the flood plain, but i can't really complain because i have been trying to capture this shot since Ocober last year but the weather always went wrong at the last moment!
No filters were used (makes a change!)

Hi jamie
Romantic shot, with the benches just awaiting the arrival of a couple
A very moody image, a bit hazy under this pale winter sun and perfectly composed with a nice balance of all the elements
Bravo

Hello Jamies,
What a pleasure to be among the first to view this photograph evocative of an early 19th century landscape. The isolated bench, glow in the sky, and the overhanging bare branch all collaborate to make this a first rate photo.
Warm regards,
Bulent

Beautiful image Jamie. A very soft and peaceful feeling
about it.
You were right about that picture of mine, and don't be sorry for saying that which is true; needless to say I removed it Lol.

Hello Jamie,
Atmospheric photo, romantic and very well composed. Pleasant soft light. The scene is nicely framed by the secondary trees on both sides. Can hardly believe this was taken yesterday; so much spring-like in comparison with what I see through my window.
Cheers,
Claude

Hello Jamie
Wonderful mystic and romantic composition with amazing silhouette branches of big winter tree and benches under it at the left side of beautiful frame in the foreground and very beautiful hazy mystic red color sunrise in the background. Excellent presentation with superb perspective to get strong sense of depth and succesful light management to get sharpness ,clarity and impressive colors. Great work. Congratulations.
Thanks for sharing
Kind Regards.
Have a nice weekend

Hello Jamie,
You may have briefly expressed a desire to live in Carlisle but, I'm sure, you would miss this. It is an outstandingly beautiful shot.
You have a great sense of composition, absolutely everything being perfectly placed within the frame. The f/g is sharp and detailed whilst the early morning mist, with its pink, blurring effect, adds the romance.
I really like how the tree overhangs the whole, spreading the attention and almost framing the scene.
Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Jamie - The misty distant view and soft sunrise pinks and peach colours has lent a lovely romantic atmosphere to this beautiful landscape. There is a still expectancy over the landscape which adds further to the mood. Who will come and sit on the waiting benches? Excellent shot, congratulations all the elements fell together as you wished. Warm regards rosemary

Hi Jamie
well you waited for it and caught it just right. Another fine shot to add to your stunning gallery, I am a huge fan of your work. This is perfectly executed, full of atmosphere and tantalising elements. There is something uplifting about the first day when it is a bit warmer and sunny just after a long winter, and this image conveys that elation superbly. Beautiful!
Have a great weekend - Brian.

Hi Jamie,
My first thought was Chronicles of Narnia....weird I know, but it has that almost surreal fairy-tale glowy feel. Truly a magical vibe about it. Well done.
The bench beckons.
