Lovely pics. Staircase in the last pic has a Newgrange feel to it. Keep up the good work

Indeed thought of newgrange too Nice work, looks like rush hour Irish style with the sheep there. Well done there.

really like the flower one with the distance background its a very unusual close up flower pic

Jagera

Flower:
- need a bit of fill in flash
- the flowers are facing away from the viewer
- would be a nice shot at sunset/sunrise, it's too high contrast at mid-day

Gap:
- your eye gets drawn to that door or hole at the bottom, which is then cropped out.

Window:
- the focus should be on the foreground, the mountains would still be in focus as they are so far away

Sheep:
- the sheep is walking away from the viewer, any chance of calling it back? :-)

Muckross:
- good shot, maybe a little of fill in light would show the lower half of the walls a bit better.

All well taken, technically, just viewpoint differences and personal opinion really.;)

I agree with you about the window in the Gap. But I like the way the sheep is doing its own thing. Personally, there's a sense of obsevance rather than interaction which I think works best for animals in the countryside. As for the abbey I was just tryin to get the slightest glimmer off the walls and steps. My focus was on the stong light from the window.

Thanks a mil for tips and opinions. Will deffo take them on board and post some more photos in the near future!

I thought the sheep one was cool - also the gap of dunloe through the window. The muckross abbey one too - the light glistening on the steps makes it work. There are some other good ones in your gallery too - the Cathedral in Burgos (through the semi stained glass window) and also the hapenny bridge in snow. Good shots.
