This is a landscape scene from Galloway, Scotland. The image is also know as "The Copse on Harvest Hill". It is of a little copse on a hill surrounded by sweeping fields. It draws in the eye of the viewer as its tones are dark in contrast to the much lighter shades of the surrounding fields. The enormous clouds which dominate the top two thirds of the piece dwarfs the rest of the composition. This image is an example of Hardman's "control" over the images he captured. The term "control by patience" has been used to describe Hardman especially in regard to these images. Exhibitions- Bluecoat Chambers, Liverpool 1957 and London Salon of Photography 1953.
