A great shot of this Scottish Piper standing alone in the highlands (I would imagine).
The mist in the background adds to the feeling of desolation; I can imagine hearing his soulful tune.
Thank you for sharing, good luck!

A very fine image with exceptional detail in the piper. The colors are great and the surreal background makes it look more like a painting. Best of luck in the contest.

Excellent editing job. Certainly does capture your interest. Good on all levels of contrast, focus and composition. Somehow though, the bagpiper seems a little out of context to his environment. You kind of know it's a shopped background.Overall, really well done.

Fabulous. The color and detail on the piper are exquisite. Perfectly composed with him just off center. Non distracting, but very appropriate background. Seamless post processing. Cyber 6 and good luck.

This is a lovely photo with a lovely story.
Your piper looks 3D in this photo against the backdrop.
The fog makes your photo intriguing.
The colors really pop in his uniform.
Nice, thanks for sharing.

Great concept in photography with all the lovely colors that makes this image pleasant to view. I love viewing art that sings to the senses and leave one feeling that they have experienced something good and decent in art. I really appreciate the uses of filters in the background for excellent results throughout the image area, thanks for sharing.

Great contest entry. I think this man is so into his music that he doesn't need anyone else. Love the mountainous scene behind him. The composition works nicely with the man off to the left. The mist behind him give is a sense of mystery. Good luck in the contest.

Love what you've done with this shot of the lone Piper in the Scottish highlands and great entry for the contest. I like the swirling mist over the hills and the softened background. I can almost hear the sound. Very good lighting and focus. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

A beautiful picture of the lone Piper dressed in his Dress uniform tartan kilt & shawl & Tam O' Scanter & Sporran Playing his Pipes against an image of the misty highland countryside behind him. Artistic composition, beautiful framing & soft natural lighting taken with superb camera & editing techniques & sharp focus.
Forgive me I can't identify his Tartan.
Susan
