Giving me wings Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another left over from my Kerry tour last january.. Really happy to put this today as I have just arranged my next little trip in the South West of Ireland next month... ( Fastnet, Mizen Head, Beara, Dingle)... A paradise in every respect and especially for photos! Also for my 100th post I wanted to put a Kerry picture as my other Kerry pics kind of promoted me here on TE! lol ;o)

Best regards to all... Léonie

Salut Leonie,
C'est booooooooooooooo !
Beau point de vue dominant, la lumiere qui tombe sur la partie verte est tres jolie, juste dommage que c'est cadre sec a gauche, un peu de creative stitching aurait permis de conserver la courbe du rivage.
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

dharbott (1892) 2005-08-25 5:57

Strong colours, good light, nice composition.
Nice shot.

jemaflor (39457) 2005-08-25 5:59

Salut Léonie,
encore une merveille, ces teintes et cette luminosité inégale qui enchantent ce tableau ... que cette verte Irlande est belle sur tes photos.

bazal (7898) 2005-08-25 6:00

Ce paysage est beau comme une peinture ! L'agencement des plages colorées est superbe et bien éclairé, comme seuls savent le faire les paysages Irlandais. La profondeur est bien dosée, ce qui donne beaucoup de relief à l'image. Bien fait, merci du partage!

fabio_ts (13674) 2005-08-25 6:01

Bel paesaggio e bellissima foto Leonie, con dei colori fantastici.. stupendo il contrasto tra il verde "caldo" dei campi ed il blu dell'acqua e del cielo ..ottimo lavoro Brava!!!
ciao, Fabio. ;o)

This is a wonderful photo. I especialy like the huge amount of details you can see here, from the houses at front to the mountains in the back. The colours are well balanced. Great.

Lovely photo of Kerry. Such a scenic landscape. Great colours and well captured.

timleahy (2189) 2005-08-25 8:36

Another excellent photo Leonie! Strong colour, very nice composition. I like the interplay of sunlit and shaded areas on the hills and fields. How did you achieve the deep shading to the right side of the picture?

leonorkuhn (13633) 2005-08-25 8:40

Hi Leonie,
Kerry is one of the most beautiful places than I knew. Very nice composition, wonderful colours and textures, great lightness. Well well done!

Bonne soirée

Hi Léonie, I like this bird's eye view very much. I enjoy the big bold lines cross through the picture and I also enjoy the detailed lines in depicting all the featured. An impressive shot and a breathtaking view. This is a picture with beautiful composition and scenery combination. Well done.

Polka (526) 2005-08-27 2:17

Bonjour Léonie,

Effectivement, ce doit être un bel endroit pour s'envoler ! J'aime beaucoup les paysages où l'on devine le jeu des rayons du soleil au travers des nuages. Et puis ici, l'alternance ombre/lumière sur le vert des prés est une merveille avec en plus l'arrière plan magnifique.

Paul

cessy (13647) 2005-08-27 2:55

so beautiful landscape, Leonie

I like those greens having warm sun light
very well done

Magnus

Hi Leonie,
Happy 100th. It is indeed an amazing perspective. Lots of different layers and colours. I particularly like the stone hedged fields in the foreground.

Another shot of yours that sure is eye catching. A very nice POV with the sun beautifully lighting up the fields and the mountains. The different levels of mountains are beautiful. Good colours and sharpness.
Nice shot
Ranjith

alainh (35377) 2005-09-03 12:59

bonsoir Leonie
tu passes d'une ile à l'autre, de ces petits bouts de terres aux carctères forts et si différents.
j'aiaimé ta série sur la Corse mais les verts de l'Irlande sont plus qu'une legende, ta photo en témoigne.
Un succes mérité
amicalement
alain

sayzey (2358) 2005-09-05 9:57

Very serene photo, looks so peaceful out here, even though it does look abotu to pour down! I especially like though the bright light in the foreground giving way to the clouds in the background!

A very nice shot from up high in the hills, I will have to check out the rest of your gallery : )

kinginexile (2440) 2005-09-06 2:33

A majestic landscape well rendered, thanks to the rich tones and their saturation. And despite the shadows on the left, the luminosity is making every plan stand out, from the fileds to the clouds farher above. the little houses add a human element to the vista, as well.
Bravo!

AmiBe (6042) 2005-09-07 3:50

Hello Leonie,
encore un superbe paysage dont tu as le secret.
La lumière est tout simplement surréaliste !
C'est beau, ça fait rêver...

sarju (5308) 2005-09-07 22:48

Gix (3559) 2005-09-12 14:23

Ciao Leonie,

Mi piace moltissimo come sai trovare accostamenti di colore e sfumature, i tuoi panorami sembrano davvero dei quadri... e questo è bellissimo, complimenti!

Oh well, what a beautiful landscape, it always gives a relaxing mood when I see Ireland through your eyes (thank you...).
Light is fantastic and the different fields and landscapes, just great ! It seems, the picture is levelled but it is not, that's optical illusion:-))

sebinho342 (18740) 2006-08-30 11:05

Salut Leonie, quelle merveille de photo ici !
Tout est bon ici, en tout cas tout m'émerveille : le POV est monstrueux, les couleurs et les variantes sont superbes, le jeu d'ombre lumièr est époustouflant, quand on fouille dans ta gallerie on n'est jamais déçu ;)
Bravo

delkoo (34370) 2007-10-10 2:03
