a great and very interesting capture;
I wonder if someone had the opportunity to read 1/1000 of this book collection;
very beautiful architecture with the wooden ceiling;

    Fred,
    Merci beaucoup mille fois for your review.
    You must be a Trinity student, professor or tutor to read the books. I'm sure there is someone who had read a good proportion of the books but not all! I'm sure in la Biblitheque national de France in Paris, there are more than this number of books & some of a similar age or older.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


Susan, This is lovely in tall vertical and really draws the eye but it is not sharp. I don't mind if the people are blurred for that shows movement but the structure needs to be pin sharp and it isn't. You need to use a tripod or shoot from something solid....a bean bag, table. That's why this half star is burning a hole in my pocket.

    Olga,
    Thanks a million for your review. I was being jostled by the young me of Boston College that were visiting Dublin to play Foot ball & were visiting Dublin at the same time. If I'd known I'd have not gone there then but my American cousins wanted to see the Book of Kells & were leave for home the next day.

Wow that is not only long but very old - only thing old in Australia are our cave artwork and me - Good perspective showing the curve of the ceiling and the length of room. :) Mary

    Mary,
    Thanks a million for your great review.
    By Irish Historical standards it quiet new the Book of Kells I think was written in the 1100s AD

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Diminishing perspective.
Vanishing viewpoint.
Hazy overtone.
Please enhance sharpness.
Fine features and textures.
Subtle lighting condition.
Thanks!

    Dickson,
    Thanks for your review.
    I've sharpened it as far as I could without going fuzzy. The room was so crowded it was VERY difficult to get a picture at all. The young men from Boston College in America were over in Dublin to play foot ball. All I could do was hold up my camera & click.
