LOCH BA SHORELINE, SCOTLAND - (Selected by GETTY IMAGES)

            .
.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them. 

On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. (ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably).

With visits now in excess of 19.086 Million to my FLICKR site, used primarily these days as a fun platform to reach friends and family as I have now sold my professional gear and now take a more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to FLICKR, GETTY IMAGES and everyone who drops by.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Three hundred and fifteen metres at 12:39pm on Friday May 27th 2015, off the A82 having just passed Lochan na h-Achlaise on our left, heading towards Fort William.  

Crossing from a lay by, I came across a body of water left in pools from Loch Ba, a shallow irregular shaped loch to the South West of Glen Coe within Rannoch Moor in the Highlands of Scotland.
