Another great shot that you have collected on your travels for your collection, showing the stunning views of Connemara, a reputedly beautiful place but I've never been (to Ireland in fact!). The clarity is crisp and the DOF is long and captures the great layering occurring with the verdant foliage and trees in the foreground by the wall, then the slightly mistier and hazy mountainside to the right, and finally beyond which is an almost eerie silhouette shrouded in mist of the further mountain looming over the other two in thick fog. Great POV for this piece and nicely positioned, and a well timed day (and perhaps even time of day!) to capture it - great shot.

Nik,
A brilliant picture of the mist rolling in over the Connemara mountains while the sun is struggling to break through. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Lovely photograph! The mountains receding into the background give it great depth. I like the division of the picture into mostly sky and mountains with just a small strip of water in the foreground. Gray composition. Nice work.

Now you make me really want to visit Ireland. I didn't realize how high the mountains were. I love the effect of the background mountains, the almost-not-there effect of the mist. Good DOF. The nice soft, almost monochrome colors work so well here. Delicious.

Great composition with the layers of mountains. The mist creates a slightly mysterious atmosphere. The lighting is wonderful. Very nicely done!

What a beautiful landscape scene with the mist in the mountains. Your composition with it's long depth of field draws the eye into your beautiful scene. Your focus is good with beautiful natural light and wonderful details and clarity.
This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

Comment from angelsanddiscus


You really do get some nice long shots. Almost like it is in layers from front to afar. The clarity, lighting really comes together in the focusing. Just gret detail all around but especially the land up front. Nice work and thanks for sharing. Is that a bridge/platform on the left?

    Very many thanks for your kind review! Glad you enjoyed the shot!! Think the object you refer to is an edging wall along a road.
Comment from SkewedEye


This is an interesting and well balanced photo. There is good depth and draws the eye far back into the landscape. Depicts the subject well.
