The area around Braemar and Ballater is known as Royal Deeside, since Queen Victoria and the Royal Family have spent their holidays at Balmoral Castle. The river Dee has an important role for the nature in the area, because much of the semi-natural pinewoods in Scotland are within the river catchment. The whole area is famous for the rare pinewoods, birchwoods and heather moors and presents a associated wildlife. The Ballater Railway Station was the terminus of the Royal Deeside Line from Aberdeen. It was opened by the Great North of Scotland Railway and was then closed in 1966. The old station was containing Queen Victoria’s waiting room. Nowadays, it is a visitor centre with a replica royal carriage. I took 3 different exposures (-2, 0, +2) and processed the pictures with Photomatix Pro and Photoshop. If you like to see more HDR pictures, please visit my website: http://hdr-image.org/

Agree with Alessio. Picture is overprocessed.

Thanks for your comments! I tried something different with this image... Normally I process my pictures natural and smooth... I like that's more looking like a paint than a photograph...

Excellent Composition. However I agree with above and large watermarks distract from scene.
