The scenery in that last shot is unreal !!

I think it's the most overpriced tourist trap this country has and I doubt I'll ever return, unfortunately.

I like the pictures though :-)

Aerials is good, kinda moody. And Keel too, good sweep to the bay there.

I'm a completely newbie to taking or judging photos so this is purely a gut reaction and my own opinion.

I love the first two pictures, you'd almost think these were taken in on a set of a si-fi movie. Very jaring and the black and white setting adds to the almost unreal affect.

Not too keen on the 3rd and 4th shots they look fine just not very interesting.

Last picture is amazing the way the foreground sweeps down into the scene makes you feel like you're standing on that hill yourself. Really impressed with this shot, makes me want to get my hands on a camera and go climb mountains.

Love the last one.
Don't suppose you've got a high res version of the last one? I'd love to have it as my wallpaper (if you don't mind of course)

they're ok, the booster station, with a bit of cropping is pretty good, and the last pic is nice, but the contrats could be better.. for me the rest are fairly average.

I do indeed have a high res version, its about 1.7MB, so too big to post here. IM me or something, could try to e-mail it to you or something.

Mickeroo - Profound apologies In my bleary-eyed, eleventh-hour rant earlier I mixed up Achill (which is a cool place I WOULD go back to - great diving) with the Aran Islands (complete rip-off :-) )

But my picture comments remain the same. Keep it up!

Cheers,

The 2nd one is very good. Exposure is good and its quite interesting.
The 3rd one is very boring i think, sorry.
