Cliffs of Moher - I visited this fantastic place on a hazy day, hoping that it would clear up, and luckily it did a bit and we enjoyed a few rays of sun too.

Still, adjusting the levels in PS is a fantastic tool that helped to highlight the rocks in the background.

I hope you like it.

Bonsoir Romana,
Très belle compo, image bien construite. Un site exceptionnel que tu as bien su capturer. Bonne idée d'inclure les personnages dans la composition. Cela donne l'échelle de ces falaises vertigineuses.
Bonne soirée et amitiés.

Hi Romana!

A really well composed picture . Great landscape!

Romana,
This one really shows off the fantastic scale of these cliffs - but that is one scary and crumbly looking edge in front of you! I can't help but wonder what the annual tourist loss rate is!

It's particularly nice the way the sky and sea merge into the same hazy horizon.

Regards
Colin

Hello Romana

The cliffs of Moher are indeed beautiful, I like this on a hazy day, we cannot tell where the horizon line is.
The colours and sharpness look good and so do the people standing to the right. Well see and worked
Regards
Jim

Romana,
Wonderful composition and POV. I like the way you have placed the cliffs on one side of the frame and allowed us to see the water on the other. The haze does a nice job of blurring the meeting point of the sea and sky giving the shot a mystical look. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.

Hi Roman
This is a wonderfull picture of the cliffs of Moher. The perspective is very nice and you get a perfect light.
Excellent
Bertrand

Good shot Romana. It gives a good idea of the cliffs.

Hi Romana,

I like this composition! The people on the edge of the composition gives even more the feel that they could easily fall over into the depths. And the way you are standing on the edge with the little piece of stone sticking out. Very nice!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hi Romana,
Very good pov on that cliffs, good depth with the part of land in foreground and the cliffs and rock in background, i like also the colors.
Well done.
Regards,
Olivier

Hi Romana,
I remember being there? Beautiful place but hard to shoot a good pic because of light conditions. I like yours though. The highlighted rocks work well as an eye-catcher to the rest of the picture. The people in the top right-hand corner give a sense of scale but they kind of get in the way at the same time to my mind. Well done anyway.

Hello Romana,
You did well catching the light. it just as easily could have been raining and fog!
I like the POV--it allows one to feel the depth of the cliffs. Well done!

Hejsan Romana.
when the horizon is gone magic is there and the image became so much more endless. The group of people works out very well against this stunning view where the needle rock makes it for the composition.

Hi Romana,
you got the best proportions and the best POV possible..the cliff plots a wide curve into the open space of the sea..beautiful.
compliments, Christian

Bonsoir Romana,
This photo is very particular. Something hangs on the glance as soon as we see it, I believe that it is because there is no horizon. This cliff thus seems suspended somewhere between sky and sea and it stresses the effect of dizziness.
Colors are magnificent also.
Congratulations
Amicalement

Hello Romana!
Its very nice to visit your beautiful gallery!
I like this perspective of view a lot, with very good DOF and great colours! Well taken!
Regards,
Zeca

superb capture...
definitely a place where i have to go..

bye

Romana,
the mist provided you with a perfect atmosphere and having the foreground element so sharp and clear gives a great image with the rest in the background disappearing partially in the mist. The people at the edge gives a whole sense of size, something that the tower and the pointed rock in the water doesn't. Excellent choice to take the people in.
Peter

Hello Romana,

What a pov!
It makes the knees wobble!
I feel particularly worried about the hikers on the r/h side! However, they do help us to appreciate the scale!

The composition is excellent!
The details are awesome!
The mist over the sea adds an atmosphere of mystery!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Romana
Indeed a breath taking view of this place. Sharp rocks, the one lone in the sea, and sharp details. I like the inclusion of the colorful human presence in the composition

Hello Romana
Amazing shot for this amazing place.
Very good composition with a little piece of luck for the light.
I was luckier when i visited this place in 1976 : very dry year.
congratulations.
Pascal
PS i think the good place is : Ireland, south, Clare

Bonsoir,
belle photo de la haut, bon POV du haut de ces falaise.
Jolies couleurs et vue impressionnante , ce pic rocheux qui sort de l' eau donne son effet aussi.

Amitiés Thomas

Hi Romana!
Great composition and colours, wonderful view.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.
Manuel

Ahoj Romana
Nice view - a classic, nicely composed, in quite pleasant light (when i was there, there was no sun). Looks interesting with no horizon line - endless space.
Best regards
Joanna

Thanks for sharing and cheers

Bonjour Romana,
Un paysage somptueux, bien mis en valeur dans cette photo; une bonne construction et bien équilibrée.
La lumière est très belle.
Roland

Hi Romana, beautiful landscape, you composed the picture very well, with the people there, the diagonal point of view, and the mist at the background. Thanxs for sharing, chau chau,

Maria

Hi Romana, excellent composition on one of my favorite places in Ireland. I think its always a good idea to include people on these cliffs to give a real sence of scale to the place. You must have stepped over the boundary to get this one ;) I was here not so long ago and walked to the tower on the opposite side of the cliffs where there is no tourists. Very well done.

Ahoj Romana,

krasny pohlad na toto zname miesto, dobre je, ze su tam aj ludia, tak vidno ake je to naozaj velke, a paci sa mi velmi ako je horizont zahaleny v opare, pekne foto...

Iva

What an extraordinary place! very nice composition with the people in the right showing the scale of the place.

Wow, what a beautiful view. Can't believe nature create this such a wonderful cliff.
But the thing is, Romana, You did a great great job in the picture.

Thank you for sharing the picture.
