Very nice,I like the second shot better for it's composition (no cars) the dark cloud at the top of the first shot catches my eye.

Hey Quillmore, is that shot taken from Peddler's Lake? If so, fair play to you for dragging your stuff all the way up there! I was there on saturday afternoon, but i didn't venture up to the top, stayed around the waterfall at the bottom.

The other side is more enjoyable to ride/drive.
I hope you walked further up - there is wonderful view of the valley below and all three lakes.

Lovely shots I'd prefer the first one if their wasn't the cars in it. Still great shots.

They are nicely composed and give a good scenic view, however here's some C&C

- both shots, particularly the first one look, overdone with the levels adjustments. you've made the clouds look good at the expense of the foreground.

- I think scenic shots like this often benefit from an immediate foreground, as well as the "infinity" view. The second shot for example, would look good with a little brush of grass, or a rock, about 2-3 feet away, giving the viewer a perspective of where they are. then they'll be lead out to the nice scenery.

- The second shot looks like it was taken when a cloud covered your whole foreground. However that's always easily spotted afterwards!

What beautiful shots - on a beautiful canvas. I never tire of that place.:) #1s my favourite. As someone else said - that dark cloud really adds to it.

Hi Archiphel,
I was there on Sunday and I did climb to the lake, it wasn't too bad, even my wife went all the way up, I have a nice-ish shot of the lake, let me PP and I'll see if worth posting
only camera and lens went up, I wish the ND grads came along but forgot them in the car

Hi BW, you may be right
I've done them on a spyder calibrated screen (CRT) and now at work with an LCD they look a bit overdone
I thought I've left some rocks on the foreground, not enough I see...
Clouds were bad positioned, and I could do nothing to remediate it, wind was weak and I didn't have the time to wait as it was already 5 o'clock and had to drive back to Dublin

Now I'd like to retake them with my ND grads on, too much contrast from clouds/grass and foreground
it was my first time on that part of Ireland and I didn't know what to expect really
Thanks to all
