Deserted Cottage

It was mostly overcast today but the fog lifted for an hour or
two this afternoon. Took Fudge to the beach at Gyles Quay. At
the tide was fully in we walked along the far beach to this old
cottage and outbuildings. While it's a picturesque location, it
must get pretty bleak in the winter storms.

Great to have the birds in the top right to provide some balance/ as a counterpoint. The shot has a slightly chilly feel to it between the greys and the pale blues. But the walls look solid and had it been made weatherproof and wind proof it may have provided an interesting refuge and base for some winter ocean shots.

You captured such a feeling of loneliness and isolation. Even the birds are leaving!
A very powerful image.

Wonderful composition, lovely low light to give a 3-D effect. The two gulls are a bonus. V

I like this and think that it would make a fantastic shot on a foggy day.

Great pov, the boulders in the foreground are a perfect lead - in to the cottage.
