I really like the third one.  I like how the contrast in color/tone help the cliff and island to stand out.  The clouds add something interesting as well.

A nice set. The third one makes a good B&W as well but I do prefer the color. The only one I have a niggle with is the purple sky in the second one. It may be my new monitor but I calibrated it and I don't think that is the issue. Good job and I'm green with envy. Ireland and Scotland are on my bucket list.

Yeah, sorry. The purple sky is from a preset that I ultimately decided didn't work for these shots. It's not your monitor.

The light was fascinating. The color of the ocean was different every direction you looked. And I've had trouble getting the grass to look the way I remember it. It really is a very green place.

We'll be going back. So much to explore, and an amazing place.

G'day Gary

Thanks for sharing some of your holiday ~ it's funny how much of one side of the world is similar to the other side of the world, but different :)

I enjoyed all 4 of them, esp #2 - the ruins - something that is common across parts of Europe that we don't have Downunder

You mention the grass - and I agree ... if the grass can be saturated a bit more, it might go from 8/10 to 10/10 - and end up as a 20" x 30" on the lounge room wall

Wow! Fantastic set. In my case, the 4th shot is my favorite. The seals are amazing and in good focus.

Stunning set, just beautiful.


(I agree that one got purplish instead of grayish blue, darn preset!).

Wow! This is a lovely set! I really like the clarity of shot in the 3rd although the seals are very cute too!
