While walking through the Bergen dunes, I came across two Scottish Highlanders. A beautiful sight, but the first location they were in was visually unsettled and offered little room for a strong composition. Fortunately, one of the animals decided to move to a more open spot - not far from a small puddle, which, although out of focus, suddenly did the landscape justice.
I wanted to capture the peace and strength this moment exuded as purely as possible. In post-processing, I chose to tone down the colours and temper the green a little.
