[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Captured as the sun was starting to drop on a beautiful evening off the Galway coast. The shot was taken from the upper Sky Road.

I thought the contrast of light from left to right was interesting and although I have done some work in photoshop, curves, auto levels and cropping, it was really that extreme.

The Sky Road is an exhilarating 11km/7ml circular drive west of Clifden. Leave Clifden passing the Abbeyglen Castle Hotel (on your left). About 400 m beyond this hotel look back towards Clifden. The 12 Bens provide a wonderful backdrop to the town and along with the two church spires, they give Clifden its distinctive skyline

Hi Patrick,
Quite incredible light, the reflection on the water is beautiful. Very dramatic.

Just a beautiful shot. I would take the border off.....maybe even the name, but somehow it seems to lend it an air of importance. And this is an important and beautiful shot; the lighting, the contrast, is excellent. POV and DOF are perfect. The curve and levels with cropping were perfect. WELL DONE!

Hello Patrick,
Nice lights, beautiful efect...

Hi Patrick,

Nice effect you've got here. However, I think that the left side is far to dark and a lot of details are lost.

Best regards

Bonjour Patrick,
Une belle image avec une exploitation des lumières très intéressante. Du beau travail ! Je trouve simplement que la partie sombre à gauche est un peu trop importante. C'est évidemment une affaire de goût. Cordialement,
Gérard

Patrick, the detail and sharpness of the water's surface shows how finely tuned and focused this shot was. I'd be interested in any extra PP you did or filters? Great cloudscape. c

hi Patrick, realli nice shot, It present an interesting composition and vibrant light, regards, JR

Really interesting PP work here and the overall result is quite good. some of it tho is a little dark.

hi pat,
the sunbeams illuminating the surface of the water is breath-taking! vividly clear from all points- two thumbs up, way up!

You have very nice collection of shots with fantastic color management! This one is very spectacular with rays of light shining through clouds and yellow leayer underneath. Darkening of left side is a bit overdone perhaps. Nice work! Cheers - Vilius

Nicely framed this amazing photo.
From colors, reflections and sharpness everything looks so natural.
Regards

Incredible light an d fantastic reflections in the water! a shame it is so dark.. Good frame.

PeCO

Hello Patrick!
Amazing autumn view, very often in autumn in this place ;)
I remember view like this from Arany Isands - to the west - on the Atlantic ocean.
Great work!
Best regards!
