Malahide Castle Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this picture in Malahide village,in IRELAND

************************************************

Malahide Castle lies close to the village of Malahide nine miles north of Dublin in Ireland.

The oldest parts of the castle date back to the 12th century. It was home to the Talbot family for 791 years, from 1185 until 1976, the only exception being the period from 1649-1660, when Oliver Cromwell granted it to Miles Corbet after the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. Corbet was hung following the demise of Cromwell, and the castle was restored to the Talbots.

In the 1920s the private papers of James Boswell were discovered in the castle, and sold to American collector Ralph H. Isham by Boswell's great-great-grandson Lord Talbot of Malahide.

Hi Piotr,

Your frame is stunning in almost tree colors. I like grass part at foreground while adding good depth to your frame. Stone textures on castle façade are spectacular under wonderful blue sky. Visitors are helping to us imagine the scale of your landscape view and adds the life needed for your photo. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Hi Piotr.

Good picture, with stunning colors. Maybe a bit oversharpen, because we can see some "digital noise" over the tour and in the sky.

A beautiful one.

Hello Piotr.
The bright blocks of color really make this photo pop from the screen. The blue and green contrast each other quite well. It looks loke the perfect day to be out viewing this old castle. The polariser really made these colors stand out. The inclusion of the people at the bottom left adds a nice touch of life to the shot.
Regards,
Chris

Hello Piotr,
This is a great place that seems fantastic. This is a good capture with excellent colors, POV and composition. Maybe it is a little too sharpened for my taste but this is very personal. There is also a little noise especially in the sky and I wonder why you used such a fast shutter speed… I am too hard in my critic :) ? This is a beautiful picture anyway with stunning colors. Well done with interesting notes. Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Piotr, a fine capture of this wonderful Castle. Very good exposure and strong composition. I may be a lone on this but to me and on my monitor at least the image is "slightly" over-sharpened. Well done.

Great shot, really crisp and clear and a fantastic contrasting sky and grass. :)

What a great vivid color! I love the green lawn and the nice blue sky. I like people in the picture so we can see how big the castle is.
