Castle on the lake Photo

Photographer’s Note

Annaghdown Castle was erected on the east shore of Lough Corrib by the O'Flaherty Clan in the late 14th century. It is exceedingly well built, and, like all the castellated remains in this district, batters gradually at the base.

The entrance, on the south face, is by a pointed-arch doorway, strongly fortified by all the defensive contrivances of the period, and the character of the warfare of the time

it's a beauty Pawel.
this is how people must look, as a painter with the camera, a good composition, a fine balance, good atmosphere and a fantastic place, a good one Pawel

Dear Pawel, lovely scene. I like the boat on the forground. Nice to see a so old castle still stand up.
I was think about this photo in B&W, so I made a workshop, hope you like this new version.

thanks
Andre

Hello Pawel,
Beautiful landscape shot of the Irish countryside with this well-kept medieval castle that overlooks the lake. The boat on the foreground adds a very important focal point to the image. It is perfectly positioned in the strong point of the picture and adds depth and a touch of colour to the scenery. Maybe you could have cropped the right side of the picture as this empty space has not much to offer, and the eye focuses on the castle and the boat. I performed two different crops of your image in the Workshop and I personally think it improves the composition. Please tell me what you think about it.
Best regards,
Christian

Hi Pawel,
Nice landscape and good subject with castle and boat in the same photo but these two elements are on the same side of the shot ... and nothing in the right side.

Czesc Pawel,
bardzo naturalistyczne, widze ze ewoluujesz w nieco inna strone niz ja czy Darek, my raczej upiekszamy nawet jesli dramatycznie a Ty pokazujesz bolesna prawde o Irlandii.
Nie mniej Twoje obrazki sa o wiele bardziej blizsze prawdy i nierzadko mysle sobie ze wyrzadzam krzywde potencjalnym turystom zbytnio koloryzujac zdjecia.
Tutaj masz swietna klasyczna kompozycje z lodka. Sporo fajnych elementow: lodka, wieza, jakas zatoczka.
Wykonanie perfekcyjne, swietna praca i tylko troche smutna prawdziwa atmosfera tego kraju.
