Castle on the edge Photo

Photographer’s Note

Kinbane Castle is situated in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, on a long, narrow limestone headland projecting into the sea, approximately 5km from Ballycastle on the road to Ballintoy. Not much of the castle remains, and the path up to it is narrow and stepped. It was originally a two storey building built in 1547 by Colla MacDonnell, who died within its walls in 1558. Behind its defences lies a large courtyard with traces of other buildings, probably constructed out of wood. It also offers spectacular views of Rathlin Island.
Not much in PP, I changed the saturation a small amount and darkened the sky slightly to balance it better with the land.

This is a superb composition Chris. The ruins look fabulous perched up there on the rock. I like that we can see the blue of the sea through the window opening. Very well composed and of excellent quality. Fabulous.
Cheers,
Debbie

Wow, what a great scenery! The light is amazing and the sky you caught really enhances the vision. I think it lacks some contrast (at least here in my work's CRT) but the rest is perfect. Like it a lot.

Endroit sublime mais dommage qu'il manque un peu de contraste à cette photo!

Chris,
Good capture of this fascinating looking place. I have to say, the more great photos of Ireland that I see on this site, the more tempted I am - well, it's only just across that little sea!

Regards
Colin
