One Autumn morning up the North Coast of Antrim I managed to capture this shot.



Was a truly glorious morning..

Very nice. Gives me a lonely kind of feeling.

One of extreme isolation.

Composition is excellent w. nice light.

Gorgeous location and superb capture. Shame about the signs. For me, at least, they suck the drama out of the images despite their value to the visitor. i would spot them out for sure and pretend they never existed - especially if you are considering this for matting and framing - which it certainly should be considered for.

My thoughts exactly. I think I could live with the black sign, but the red one definitely needs to go.

Fine composition. My main reservation is that the sky is a bit dark, blue and contrasty for my taste.

Thanks for feedback guys

Kikashi - I never thought of cloning out signs etc. but that's a good idea.

Cheers

I to feel the signs need to go.  ...but what caught my immediate attention was the sense of depth that is present when I look between the surf and the clouds to the distance beyond.  Great shot!

I was there a year ago. A great location!

If I were you, I would not clone the sign away as this may end up looking patchy. Try desaturating it instead, to the point where it blends in with the wall and the other sign.

Thanks - it really is a class location.  Did you stay in the hostel there?  Best hostel I know of location wise..

Nicely done.

I think the work may be improved by removing the 3 signs. Ironically, the center B&W sign in the building appears at first glance to be more akin to a window with a blind on it than a sign. Removing that might make that face of the building stand out a bit, so if the signs go, maybe darken that face just a tad.

No, I stayed in Belfast. I joined my girlfriend and her family to visit friends and relatives in NI. We spent a day traveling from Belfast to Giant's Causeway, stopping in Ballycastle and White Park Bay on our way there. It was my first time in NI, and I'd love to go back soon.
