Coole Park, Co. Galway, where Yeats wrote so many poems. (You should probably dim the lights )

That title is nearly identical to the header of some viagra spam I got.

Wasn't that poem about swans? I don't get it...

Awwww... I don't know that poem or really care, but I'm loving that shot.

Can you do the bighugelabs thing and go large on black????

that needs to be brightened - all i could see on my monitor at home was two faint lines.

Me thinks it's your monitor that needs brightening

Interesting shot. It doesn't really grab me for some reason though. I'd like to see it big, that would make a difference I think.

i've a rule of thumb - anything which looks sensible on this screen (am in work) is far too dark in reality.

Its a picture of a dark forest, what do you expect?

Sorry, the title is a bit strangely misleadin.

It's a photo I took last weekend at Coole Park, home of Lady Gregory, friend of WB Yeats, where he wrote many poems includin 'Wild Swans at Coole'.

I saw the two trees, and felt I wanted to turn them into some weird symbolic portal to somewhere. The afterlife? The forest? An ancient ringfort?

The exposure was terrible, so I had to rescue it.

I suppose it would look better bigger. I'll upload one later. Actually, I'm quite happy with it, though I think it needs more work.

I like it. It reminds me of that photo that was sold at auction last year for $3 million or something. It was one of the earliest surviving photos or something. Anyway, it reminds me of that.
