A stunning picture taken at last year’s Enchanted Forest event in Pitlochry has won internatio­nal praise for Comrie photograph­er David Cormack.

He was placed in the finals of the Down’s Syndrome Associatio­n’s (DSA)‘My Perspectiv­e’competitio­n.

David, who lives in Comrie sent his magical image‘Full Moon? The Enchanted Forest’, into the competitio­n, which attracts entries from all over the world.

The photograph of the giant moon - not the real thing but a

model made for the light spectacula­r in the Perthshire forest - was one of 25 shortliste­d by judges.

Australia, India and Kyrgyzstan.

The panel included actors Peter Davison and Emma Barton (both patrons of the DSA) and Dianne Buswell, one of Strictly Come Dancing’s profession­al dancers.

The competitio­n judges considered David’s picture was “ethereal”,“imaginativ­e”and “full of atmosphere”.

David, who has the genetic condition, confirmed he had got his inspiratio­n from a stroll around the nighttime event designed to surprise and build on the beauty of the woodland at night.
