I don't really have much time this week but I just had to comment on this image
I glanced through the thumbnails at the start and this just jumped out at me
I absolutely love images like this it alsmost looks like an oil painting
Just so beautiful well done to capture such a place the only thing that may be wrong I M H O in it may need brightening a little but then I guess it would loose the quality Just perfect! Where is this? I imagine Ireland 10

Very picturesque shot. I love the muted colors, the very dynamic composition and the placement of the building. The colors invoke a very romantic feel, and there's just enough detail in the sky to really keep the entire frame interesting. 8
Ha ha. Don't believe you! Entirely beside he point, of course :-) i mean, where the hell do you get your interent comection? Wonderful guidebook photograph, just perhaps lacking in a little impact of light. Whilst it's a v=beautiful, almost painterly moment, I think perhaps the contrast could have been pushed to take it out of the realm of the 'straight-from-the-camera' and into that of the exhibition a little more. This almost has the feeling of cut from a holiday brochure, which isn't what I'm looking for here. Wonderful compositionally, especially that point of view, however. And there is a subtleytly to the light as you have used it that is rather pleasing. Wonderfully serene sky, too - all in all, a marvellous moment. One of our Scots friends?
Certainly has potential, with some more dramatic lighting, some less sky this could be great. Now it is a nice picture, of a beautiful landscape, but a bit dull in my opinion.
