Striking work Martin, like the panoramic proportions.

Such an interesting piece. I love the details of the trees on the horizon line.

Yes, the imagination could run wild with the silhouettes Martin, is it a kind of bog oak? Love this style, the palette and especially the format….perfect for the subject.

I love the panoramic style of this Martin. Very intriguing. I really like the way you have done the distant tree line too.

Very well done Martin. Those waterlogged old trees do have a mysterious look.

Excellent.

Definitely monsters Martin! Or ancient Britins navigating the marshes... you've got me going now! Anyway it's a lovely image - I love the tree line and that gorgeous blue.

Remnants from the peat extraction at Hatfield Moors there are several huge stumps in the lakes that give good impressions of being some kind of monsters.
