I have visited this famous tree many times - the Milarrochy Bay oak tree - but never had the right combination of conditions until now. The water level was high, surrounding the tree, which often stands on a beach. The sun was setting, and the colours were perfect.
I deliberately chose a long exposure to emphasise the tree and turn the water and sky into a dreamy blur, and I think it worked quite nicely! I know that long exposures can split opinions, and I think they should be used sparingly, but it was quite deliberate in this case.
