Shivering Sheep

Ben Bulben, Sligo, Ireland.

Nice enough middle ground, but I think this calls for several thought balloons,  perhaps containing the sheet music to a rousing score.

It's a nice shot for composition, content and the quality of light. I also like the processing but with one exception. There seems to be a light line on the left side of that mountain. Maybe a masking problem? Otherwise it's great!

On second thought, this is my favorite of your recent posts.  I wouldn't change a thing, much less write on it.

It was just that it seemed like it was part of an old movie.

The very noticeable and distracting halo around the mountain edge makes it look as the sky was from another image?

[Rajan Parrikar]

Beautiful image (but yes, get rid of that halo).

Great photo. I think it's too contrasty at the expense of detail in the grays. Also, I think the brightest element in the picture should be the sun reflecting off the sheep.

Thanks guys - I know I have to go back to the drawing board with this, but in view of your reaction, I know it's worth it. That's what LL is all about.

Off topic, but where is Drumcliffe churchyard from there?

[seamus finn]

Sorry for the delay in replying. The churchyard is quite near here. This shot was taken from a sideroad north of the mountain. The easiest way to find Drumcliffe is to travel about five miles from Sligo Town northwards on the Donegal Road. Watch our for the church on your right - you can't miss i. If you're travelling from Northern Ireland, same thing applies, just look out for the church tower on you left just past the Yeats Tavern Restaurant on your right.
