Burren Flowers, a photo from Clare, South

Photographer's Note

The Burren in County Clare on the west coast of Ireland is a Karst landscape of Limestone rock measuring about 300km squared. The is no soil and is entirely covered in crisscrossing cracks known as grikes, leaving isolated rocks called clints, between which grow unique plantlife supported by the latent heat of the rock.

I was down there last weekend with some friends staying in Lahinch, which is a famous surf town, unfortunetly the surf was dead.

played a little with the levels of this shot and added a border, otherwise displayed as shot.

Well worth while trip Andy. A great result. Excellently composed. Very dramatic perspective and the person add to the sense of scale. The Burren is an amazing place.
On first look I thought you had talen the colour fron the rest of the pic and left the flower.
Superb!

Lovely shot Andy, I like the way the flowers are sharply in focus, and then the focus softens into the distance. One little quibble - the horizon is not level.

The Burren is a remarkable place for flowers, I posted a few also last year.
