"Loch Lomond meets the Nile as Sgt. Archibald 'Archie' Macdonald skirls his bagpipes in front of the monuments of an earlier empire." (Please note: I had help with this shot:D) The 2nd photo shows how the Highland Division might have used the photo as a recruiting poster) Randy

Yet another excellent scene! And a good recruiting poster, too.
 
Here is my original concept photo for the subject. The final version posted at the beginning of the thread had the very generous help of a friend who knows a whole lot more about photography and Photoshop than I do and took pity on me and showed me how it should be done. Randy

Here is the background photo for the final version prior to adding the K&C piper and manipulating the image with Photoshop. Randy

This is brilliant stuff PB. I can hardly wait now to get my new camera and start snapping away at our TS collection.
Thanks for so much inspiration.
Cheers

Outstanding Postcard Randy! :D
K&C should flog these so you can take them with you on holidays to send back home.
