czesc Lukasz,
fajnie wypatrzyles powtarzajacy sie motyw.
Moze tylko ucialbym nieco nieostrego dolu i troche mocniejszy kontrast zrobil dla wzmocnienia efektu? Ale to ja - ostateczna decyzja nalezy oczywiscie do Autora :D.
pozdrawiam
Grzesiek

Hello Lukasz,

What an interesting place and scene. How they are using this stones ? as a wall for land ? Working black and white makes your shot more valuable. Well done. Congratulations,

Best Regards,

Parbo

Great take on the Aran Islands, Lukasz! And it tells about more than just the amount of stone on the islands: the walls are built like that, with all the holes, so that the wind blows through them instead of blowing them over (supposedly). Which gives us all an idea of what the wind is like on the western islands of Ireland! It also tells us that it is a farming community, obviously. (sorry, that's the historian part of me talking :).
I love the depth of field and the use of B&W. The only thing I would change would be to maybe include more of the diagonal wall in the foreground, so that it helps draw the eye into the center more. But well managed overall!
