Photographer’s Note
A Whitethorn tree above Camlough Lake at Sunset.
Ring of Gullion in South Armagh
The striking landscapes of the Ring of Gullion are a result of the unique geology of the area - a ring of igneous rocks has resulted in a distinctive range of peaks enclosing a cultural landscape of small farmsteads rich in legend with a multitude of historic monuments. Trees and small woodlands are significant landscape features. There are diverse wildlife habitats including fragments of the once extensive lowland bogland. Many of these boglands have been drained and cut over for turf. The craggy outcrops are covered with heather moorland. The range of upland and marginal habitats such as dry and wet heath lands hedgerow and rough grass creates a rich mosaic of wildlife habitat.
Thanks for looking :)

Hi Gary,
Thats a very well composed shot. I really like it. i think teh grass is just a tiny bit too saturated for my liking - but each to their own. Still a very impressive shot. Well done.

Hi Gary,
I like the overall color intensity and the balance and composition are excellent. The heavy rock formations on the right are nicely balanced with the large tree and sunset view to the left. Well seen and TFS. Gerald

Another great HDR, with very nice colors and an excellent composition.
That tree is a well placed star in this frame, with the diagonal formed by the rocks & sunset complementing nicely and decentering it all.
