Kilmacduagh ruins, a photo from Clare, South

Photographer's Note

Another shot from the Kilmacduagh archeological site (same as my previous post).

The sky was so dull that day that all my snaps from that day lack in colour and contrast. I've retouched the sky following the advice from the two WSs posted against my initial post. (Thanks to Don Laufer and Tony Ardino for the advise.)

The original unedited shot is posted as a workshop.

===================================================

Kilmacduagh is a set of ruins of a 7th century monastic site. It has one of those traditional medieval round towers which is 34 meters high. That actually makes it the highest of all the round towers in Ireland. That and the fact that this site in the west coast is quite far off the beaten tourist tracks make this place worth visiting...

Hey, a lovely foto, but i would have liked the tower a bit off-centered. As it is i don't like the composition too much.

This place is really interesting, especially with Irish dark clouds. I like your photo.

Hola Robert
Me ha gustado esta foto. Con ese cielo que amnenaza con caerte encima, ese color gris plomo, da hasta miedo.
Buena composición, un trabajo conseguido.
Saludos
Josep

Hi Robert.

I like this picture. Maybe the POV is very typicall but I like it in any case. I disagree Pjulin about the position of the tower and in my opinion it's great.

Nice cloudy-sky.

Regards, Oscar

Bonjour Robert,
Je suis un peu decu... l'introduction me promettait un symphonie de pic, d'aretes glacees, de crevasses et de seracs et ce que je decouvre c'est de vieille pierres irlandaises ;-)
Un joli sujet en tout cas, et un ciel dramatique a souhait pour creer une ambiance, il manquait quand meme un petit rayon de lumiere pour attiser les contrastes.
Bonne journee,
Jean-yves

Bonjour Robert, le ciel de nuages donne à la composition un dramatique intéressant et les ruines sont très bien encadré bien qu'un peu foncé, en tout cas un bon travail, des félicitations.

Une forte embrassade............ Paco

PD. : Je m'assieds très heureux que tu m'as choisie de favori, c'est un prix qui fait qu'il ait esprit pour continuer à envoyer des photos..... merci.

Great picture of the ruins, this is how i would have liked my photo to turn out. Seems you had bad weather also but it gives this photo a great sense of atmosphere. Nice one!
