You for sure have a great view from this place and it looks so lovely with all the light from a town in the background, and the trees in the foreground.

The trees are standing out sharp and well defined against the sky, and I also think the exposure is very good.

The format you have cropped the photo into works really well, and the trees have got a good placement within the frame. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

    Annie,
    Thanks a million for your great & detailed review on "Killakee View Point" over Dublin & Dublin bay.
    This is a place I bring all my visitors to look over Dublin from above. On a clear day it's possible to see the city, the bay & the mountains of Morne in the North of Ireland...It's just a fifteen minute drive from my home.

    Cathal,
    thanks a million for your great review. It had been a beautiful sunny day her in Dublin on the "Ides" of March & the sunset was beautiful which was why I drove fifteen minutes up in the hills to take this. The sun had gone but with the city light blazing below it could be the light of the dying sun lighting up the sky.

Nice job on this one Suisan. Good balance of foreground, trees and the lights in the background. There is just enough sky to set the entire scene. You are always so good at that. I always learn from the way you present your work. Thank you for the posting and the lesson ~ Steve

It is amazing to see so many city lights beyond the trees and what looks to be such a peaceful clearing. The colors are very nice and you captured the lights well.

This photograph has several layers when I look at it. You have the trees and ground below, then the city lights, and then the sky. I like the way the trees contrast against the lights and the sky. Good photograph!

I find it especially impressive how you worked the light in this shot. Your adjustments were made skilfully because the scene looks throughout natural and realistic. The blazing lights of the city are perfectly placed behind the superimposed tree silhouettes. The panoramic framing warrants a good balance of the photo.

Most beautiful landscape photography showing the city lights at night. The composition has a great depth of field which draws the eye right into the your photography. I like how the trees are silhouetted with beautiful night sky. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

Lovely twilight view, Susan. I like the angle you used for this with the foreground feathery trees in silhouette against the distant lights. Very good lighting, focus and composition. Suzanne
