I like whatever you do with enhanceing your photos. So often the lighting effects are so nice. This is a nice composition of a very strong forground element and the depth of the background. Perfect color in the gray sky. So often it seems that gray skies look too yellow or magenta. This is nice.

Hello Stephen,
Very impressive light and dim colours making the shot a very dramatic one. Also I like very much this shoreline dissapearing far away in the mist.
Best greetings,
Michal

Very dramatic... that looks like somewhere that I'd love to go and visit. The use of the grad shows on the rock, but that's easily fixed... I like this.

Hi again :)

This too is a stunning shot and one with a superb composition, for sure!
The textures here fantastic and the details are tech-sharp!
I also love that great BG that you managed to get and the great perspective from up there :)
Did you use the dodge tool to brighten up the some of the rocks and grass in th FG?

Anyway, the result is again outstanding!
Bravo and TFS
Horia

Stephen, I have to agree with Evelynn, you have it. You clearly know which filter to use when and how its going to enhance your shot. Nevertheless, you still have to get there and compose the shot in the first place. This one is a stunner. Well done, TFS.

Hi Stephen, this is another fab shot of your local landscape. I must visit this lovely part of Ireland one day. You composition is perfect from the limestone. All very moody with great colour, texturs and shaprness.

Hi Steve,
Really awesome work on the composition and the tonal range. The way you show us the stack but also the wonderful view is simply amazing. I really like the lighting you captured in the FG grass. The lighter and darker spots give this part something extra. The moody clouds and the spot of sun the far back give the photo the perfect atmosphere. I'm going to favorite this one.
TFS,
Niek

TRuthly amazing!!!!

ANd the opposite ligtn between the grass and the horizon gives a more fantastic and strange effect.

Fantastic composition. The grey filter gives the scene a moody feel that is accentuated by the craggy limestone in the foreground. Well done.

Wonderfully surreal appearance, man. Something makes it look like you've messed with this -- the quality of the lighting maybe -- but it's sure amazing. But what would Freud say?

Hi Stephen, good shot. I like the composition alot here. The lighting too is worthy of note as it has atmosphere it gives it a slightly uneasy feel. Well done.
