A very nice travel photo that capture a rather large and imposing structure. I like the sense of scale in the image. Keeping the water and shoreline in the picture also helps to create a sense of place. Well seen.

Absolutely wonderful view, the capture offers up lighting and color perfection. Great sun filled day and fantastic natural color. Reminds me of a boat ride on the Rhine so I of course now have to make a trip to Ireland. LOL Great focus as well. The abbey's placement in the frame perfection. Breath of wonderfully fresh air. Thanks for sharing.

    Very many thanks for your nice review! Yes, Ireland is definitely worth at least one visit. We, living in the UK have been many times in the last 30 years.

A timeless capture of this interesting Abbey, I like the capture of the old stone and architecture in the Abbey as it sits nestled in the beautiful greenery,
Nice perspective and framing draw the eye. Natural colours, sharp focus and clarity.
Looks a lovely place, a very nice view.

Wow, this is such a beautiful.
That is one spectacular Abbey.
The trees all around just make the place pop.
It almost seems to be floating down the water.
Great piece, thanks for sharing.

Wow that isan excellent capture - angle and perspective are just perfect - your framing is well chosen - I think your picture is clear and sharp and I love specially looking closer to the walls and see the the textures of the shades created by years.
genuine contrast and lighting

Comment from Trajan


Amazing shot. It has a timelessness to it. I can almost see knights and horses walking out from. It has that wonderful, slightly mysterious light. That place between sunlight and overcast.
Really quite beautiful.

Yes this is beautiful and very dramatic. I love the detail that is so vivid in the outside of this
Abbey. The lush green surroundings are a wonderful backdrop to the structure.
Great view with fantastic color.
A pleasure to view.

A majestic imposing subject near a refreshing lough...
Nestled aesthetically on verdant, lush foliage.

Sharply focused.
Fine architectural structure, impressive features & varied textures.
Gorgeous illumination.
Tad tight on the left, why?!?

Good perspective & long depth of field...Thanks for sharing...

    Many thanks for your nice review! If I remember correctly this was the best composition with the lens I had on the camera at the time. Did not have time to change lenses because my wife was urging me onwards!
Comment from emereaux


This is a beautiful capture! I love the black and white contrast of the castle nestled in the rich green foliage of the Irish countryside. The peep of the river in the foreground gives your piece a nice balance and contrast. Wonderful!
