On The Rocks!
A View of the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland.20 total reviews
Comment from Renate-Bertodi
I just had to choose this one. Yesterday on tv, Martin, one of my favourite cooks /cook programs when I want to relax and not watch or think/ had gone to Ireland to the Causeway. They told him it was fantastic mackerel fishing country, so he took a boat out and lowered a line. He pulled the line up after 20 seconds and there was a none stop row of mackerel on his fishing line. He was amazed and I was amazed! The whole of that sea must be filled with mackerel!

Comment from Ruth Carll
What an unusual place! You found an interesting place to photograph and your overall composition is good. However, at first glance, I thought this was a drawing. This is due to the lack of shadows and blacks (other than in the people). This can be caused by over processing. It also is the source of the halo around the edge of the land. Something to check out would be an article on value (the art definition) and then you will see that this image is almost entirely middle value without the lights or darks that would give the image depth. I hope this is helpful! Because the people are the only dark value, they look like they are placed on top of the image rather than in it.
It is given with good intentions.

Comment from avmurray
It is truly amazing to see all these columns sticking out from the ground, and I like that people are included to show the size of them. You also have a lovely blue sky in the photo, and the landscape is standing out from it in an excellent way.
The photo is sharp showing clear and well defined details all over, the colors are nice and natural, and the exposure spot on.
The format and framing is perfect, and with the highest point of the landscape off to the right, it is a very fine balance in the composition. A truly lovely and well taken photo Nikman.

The Giant Causeway is such a fascinating place we spent quite a while wandering over the columns. Nicely composed image showing the activity well. Looks like you had great weather.

This is a very neat photo. It looks like a nice place to sit and have a chat with a whiskey on the rocks! I like how almost ant-like the people look in this photo, compared to the amount of columns. Nice colors also

Comment from Brenda Curley
Interesting composition.
These basalt interlocking columns are amazing to see.
Like that they are in the foreground to empazise them. Nice details. I guess it's a great place for the people to sit and just observe.The photo comes alive. Nice colors throughout
and complimentary colors.
Good focus and clarity.

This is such a gorgeous area. I wish there were not so many people. You captured a scene with clarity. The composition is a little weak, but other than that it is a very nice photograph.

So this place must be hard to walk through lol,, and how was this made? Looks like a busy place to be. I find it a little bit blurry and hard to see, I know it shows the great expanse of this place and the people look really small lol
