I know I may have gone a little overboard on the HDR, I did try control myself! The last shot I think has potential but in reality I blew out the sky on the right, rough clone job done there. Not going to work anymore on it - going to re-shoot some day instead.

C&C if you will...

EDIT: If anyone wants to C&C on any of the other photos in the set, feel free to link in the image and comment... didn't want to insert too many here.

Thanks.

It's Joe. Initially Gary for the sake of online anonymity but that's been blown since! Must come up with a new name!

Gorgeous shots. I love the thought put into these shots.
I probably would've like to see the same processing on shots #1 & 2. You went to the Grianan Of Aileach.
Fantastic place. I was there only over a month ago. The whole region is stunning.

I really like the first three (the first one is fabulous). The other three look "weak" in comparison. Lovely part of the country. It must be 30 years since I was up there.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I prefer the processing on #1 now, I think I might go back and redo #2.

Was just driving past Burt and had the camera in the car so thought why not! Hadn't been up there since I was a kid and never before with a camera.

Couple of others from Grianan of Aileach

Really nice set. The HDR ones might look a bit overdone but I think it really suits them. Love the lighthouse ones in particular.

1 & 2 look more like paintings than photo's. Beautiful as they are is that what you were looking for with your processing ?

The 1st stands out, its a great composition, I find that HDR realy makes the colors stand out, and green in particular..

Simply Beautiful. esp 1, 2, & 3.

WTF am I going to London with such beautiful places In Ireland.

The people in Burt and Inch Island won't be too happy with you calling their area The Lagan Valley:)

You're about 10 miles too far east.
