Kylemore Abbey, a photo from Galway, North

Photographer's Note

Kylemore Abbey in Ireland is fairly famous and well known. I took this picture from the parking lot when a fortunate hole in the clouds allowed the sun to shine down on the abbey.

The key to this picture was cropping. I had some marsh in the foreground and a large hillside in the background. The abbey was completely lost in the frame. By chopping out most of the unimportant stuff I think the subject becomes much more attractive.

Hi Kyle,

Fairly famous.....well, I have never seen it before, but it sure looks like a nice place to spent a weekend. Beautiful building with a beautiful light - in nice and quiet surroundings.

Well seen.

A well photographed Abbey, its a magnificant view and a great picture with the contrast of the colours.

Hey, a very nice view of the Abbey, makes me want to return to Ireland and visit the place. I think you cropped the foto well, i wonder how it would have looked if you'd included just a bit more of the hills? Well done.
