Photograph of a woman with a child in a rowing boat on the loch, silhouetted against the light. The woman stands in the boat as she holds the oar. In the foreground is a small protrusion of land into the water on which is seated a child wearing a hat with its back to the viewer.

In this photograph, Wilson took the unusual step, at the time, of photographing into the sun and adapted his camera in order to cope with the bright light. He used members of his family as models in these photographs together with Sandy the boatman and photographed the loch itself against a low sun. Such was the technical proficiency that was exhibited in these photographs together with the favourable reviews they received, they were instrumental in securing Wilson's position at the forefront of the photographic establishment.
