[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Achill Island is the largest island off the coast of Ireland. It is situated off the west coast of County Mayo and measures 20km from east to west and 19km from north to south.

Lashed by the ocean, carved by the wind and swept by the rain, Achill is one of Ireland's most spectacular and beautiful places. The Island has some of the finest natural scenary in Europe and is renowned for its fine sandy 'Blue Flag' beaches.

Hi Stephen
Such beautiful scenery. I love the colours, textures, composition and detail.

The grass looks like it's blowing in the wind. (my kind of place) TFS Janice

Hi Stephen
What a lovely serene scene and beautifully captured. Looks like the place one wants to be to escape the hectic life of the rat race we run.
A good composition which displays the fact that it was planned and not just a point and shoot exercise as it shows the correct proportionate placing of the landmarks. The horizon lies ± on the 1/3 horizontal axis and the landmass comes in ± at the 2/3 vertical axis. The only slight nit might be the fact that the horizon on the water line drops off slightly to the left. The colours are great and the details are sharp from the foreground all the way to infinity. The exposure was well controlled ensuring that the colour balance and lighting is perfect.
Great work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

I love this image - well executed. Evokes many memories for me - used to live in Ireland (pre-photography days)...

Hi Steven!
For first look I thought this is one of your pictures from Cyprus :-) So colorfull! As always perfect landscape my friend. Different from your other works but as good as always.

I like this a lot, especially the way there are 3 specific 'zones' working across the photo from right to left as my eyes are drawn - the cobbles, the grass and finally the hills.
Very nice, I'd like to see a wider, more panoramic version.

Hi Stephen,
Not as spectacular but beautiful fresh colors and details. The rest has been said.

Very nice again Stephen,
Good detail, nice strong colours and sharpness. exposure and lighting are good. Good POV and composition.

Thanks for posting, have a great weekend.

Very nice compositon in this rural coastline image.
Like the colors and depth. Good sharpness.

PeCO

Great color and contrast of textures. The water, sand, stone, grass, and sky give such different textures that it makes the photo very intereting. TFS!
