Lovely capture! It is so classical in its concept and execution and in its atmosphere; The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

What a spectacular view of Kylemore Abbey. Truly a remarkable capture and view of this stunning architecture. A perfect exposure and white balance. Good camera skills and light handling rendering incredible details of the architecture. The lush greenery and nice movement in the foreground compliment your photography. Indeed a well taken photo with a good depth of field. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Wow! I am wanting to visit Ireland some time soon! Presentation is dramatic. Contrast of the Kylemore against the lush vegetation is just beautiful. Lighting and framing are nice. What a gorgeous place! ( sigh). Thanks for sharing!

Cool,Nikman!
That abbey reminds me a lot of the once locally famous Skene Manor house that sits amid the forested hills along the southern end of Lake Champlain a few miles to the north of where I live!
'Good Show',my friend!

This is both a lovely and impressive Abbey framed by the greens of Ireland, and you have pictured it so well.
I especially like your POV and also how well the building is standing out from the background.

Your photo is sharp showing such clear and well defined details in the building, and the exposure is very good.

The photo is nicely framed and the Abbey has got a fine placement off to the left. A lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

An excellently composed near monochrome take on a great and grand edifice.

Skillful use of the rule of thirds.

Camera technique is well established for optimum clarity, color, contrast and resolution under the existing conditions.

The foreground of water harbors the viewers eye and draws you into the scene.

The obvious center of interest is well presented and easy to view.

Well done ... B-)) Bob

A beautiful image with a slight HDR look to it. The architectural detail in the castle is remarkable and the woodsy setting is very appealing. Great colors and excellent composition.
