We get a good sense of the terrain here, with all the houses and no trees. Interesting landscape with it kind of crisscrossing. It looks so vast as we see the cows looing so small

Lovely shot of the tour boat with the beautiful Irish countryside behind. Love the subtle colours in this with the sun lighting up the distant hills. Very good lighting and focus. Great composition. Suzanne

Oh the Irish country side looks so green and inviting. I have always wanted to travel there.

The boat is in a great position in the frame giving a sense of motion.

Details and colors are well done making it a very eye pleasing scene.

Nice work Nik. I hope there are more pictures of Ireland ~ Steve

A very nice shot that shows the rolling hillside beautifully. The view from the water is well composed and the colors are beautiful without being overcooked.

Beautiful diagonal slices of water,land,with hedgerows,and,mountain range.The dark blue of the tour boat against it all adds to the fun.
Cordially,

What a lovely sight of part of the Irish landscape, those rolling hills are typical of Ireland!
Wonderful light hitting them with all the dappled light and shadows, this in turn also bring out the stringer detail in the green field of the middle ground and that boat is perfectly place going into the rest of the image and also gives the scale!

The composition of the photo reminds of painted landscapes. The adjustments in photoshop amplify the impression to look at a painting. The photo has good depth and is well composed. I like that your POV is the boat. I appreciate the natural-realistic of the pleasant colors.

I like this a lot, I initially thought it was Scotland, not far off! The boat as the focal point settles the composition nicely. Colors are bright and focus is crisp, nice shot!

This is a lovely scene. Composition is nice as you've given the boat room to go forward. As you can see the top half of the photo is washed out due to the brightness. That would be helped by a graduated neutral density filter. You can put the darker side up and then it blends down into the lighter to clear. That would be dark in the sky and even out the scene. I don't know if you know who Art Wolfe is, but he carries one in his pocket in a protective case. He's quite a famous photographer Anyway, it might be a nice tool for you to consider carrying. Do you have software that has the neutral density feature built-in? That would do it. But good job otherwise. Thanks for sharing that lovely countryside

    Glad you approve. If I see a problem, I try to help fix it to the best of my ability. It doesn?t help a person to say your sky is blown out, now does it? So I am happy you appreciate my efforts to help you. We all need instruction of some sort to help us progress in our photography. So keep working at it. Wish I was there to see that beautiful hillside

Beautiful scene, well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are so pretty and appear natural. I like the placement of this boat in the frame, like the way the land meets the mountain at such a pleasing angle! Well composed and presented!
