[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
How you have seen in my previous posts, I've been really lucky with weather condition in my Irish trip...
...in this photo you can see one of the rare moments of cloudy gray sky... but... lovely condition for an atmosphere picture.
I've taken this picture near one of the best-known of all Irish dolmens; "Poulnabrone", a dramatic site on the karstic limestone pavement of the Burren.

I hope you like it,

happy weekend to all TE friends :o)

Ah! mi pareva strano... un pò di brutto tempo l'hai trovato anche tu!
Comunque è la condizione migliore per questo tipo di foto, credo. Mi piace questa atmosfera molto irlardese con la sua particolare luce.
Ciao e buon weekend
Anna

Bonsoir Fabio

amicalement

Olá Fabio
Bonita foto, bom ponto de vista. As cores são ótimas, a pedra à esquerda é um detalhe que soma nesta composição. Parabéns Fabio.
Grande abraço,
Vera.

Hi Fabio,

Great POV of the burren. You really have to take a shot of this area when going to that region. TFS!

Ciao Fabio,
Very good capture - I like your POV (again).
The horizont maybe tilted a bit - but this unbalanced feeling gives plus for this picture.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Fabio,
Its almost a sepia toned photo, and most effective. I like how the light shining off the large rocks in the foreground contrasts with the darker landscape without leading to overexposure. The dolmen is well placed in the scene and the layered, moody sky adds to a sense of drama here apropos to the historic nature of the site. Well captured, Fabio.
John

Another "low, low POV" of yours, Fabio! Very clever composition.
By the way, Fabio, I'm flirting with a D50 with this lens you have, I'll probably buy one next year. Do you like this camera?
Regards, my friend, and TFS.

Hi Fabio!
You are right,the cloudy sky makes a nice atmosphere.Good composition with a well choosen foreground and good low POV.I like the repetition of the foreground colors in the sky.
Regards,Leo

The low POV was an absolute must for this image Fabio. You have created great depth too. The dramatic sky seems fitting somehow for this barren landscape.

Ciao Amicci

great idea and a great shot here, nice colors and pov
regards
manuel

Excellent shot Fabio, nice point of view, great compo and sky.
Very well done.
Zoran

Hello Fabio,
Very good definition gives pleasant textures and good details!
Composition works well, nicely balanced and with good lines...
Interesting sky with a combination of heavy clouds and bright parts!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hello Fabio:))))))))
I love this low POV and mysterious look!!!!

Perfect image, regards*,
A.

Il cielo cupo è perfetto per questo tipo di foto. L'irlanda mi piace col cielo azzurro e cumuli gonfi e bianchi, e sono sempre stato fortunato. Ma il cielo irlandese è bello anche grigio e gonfio. e questo è il caso... bella foto di un luogo famoso. Non è facile non essere banali!

Hi Fabio,
Excellent POV, definition and depth. I like the contrast between dark and light zones.
My best regards,
Aires

hi fabio

i really like how the stones in the foreground go off into the near-distance. it's a nice pov. the only thing i'm not keen on is the car that can be seen. it kind of wrecks the shot.. very small detail but one that draws my attention. otherwise, great scene. hope you have/had a great trip. thanks

La prossima settimana sarò finalmente in queste terre e potrò ammirare con i miei occhi le bellezze che ci mostri nei tuoi ultimi scatti. Bellissimo anche questo con il misterioso Burren come protagonista.

Bravo davvero!

ciao Fabio, bellissima atmosfera iralndese!!!i colori richiamano proprio quando piove...!una bella composizione fatta di paesaggio!!bravo come sempre!

Ciao!

Valeria

Hi fabio

Wonderful texture, lighting, & repetition of the stones. I like the upright rock, breaking the pattern. Ciao!

HI Fabio
Really dramatic shot of this interesting pavement. I like the grey atmosphere which gives a sense of foreboding. The single upright stone is well positioned in the frame too.
Regards, Susanna

Hi Fabio,

I like the soft colors of the land annd this strong sky !

Hello Fabio,
love the brooding atmosphere of this shot.Great POV. One vertical stone makes your picture top notch...(did you stand it up?)
bev

Hi Fabio,
An impressive place and difficult to take, well done here to show this stones, tfs.

I must say Fabio, this is really a succesful shot! Fantastic low point of view gives some details to the foreground and makes the perspective very dynamic. Very good lighting and beautiful weather situation! WELL DONE!

HI fabio

I like very much this picture. I think that the unusuall perspective is great. The contrast and lights are perfect too.
Well done
