oxymor0n

imho the contrast is pushed a bit too high/far. thus, some details in the hair are lost on my screen and the skin looks a bit harsh bright. otherwise a nice composed shot, I also like the square format.cheers,

I hope you like this shot of a castle on the Northern Irish coast, close to Mussenden Temple.

if you have any ideas or questions, please feel free to ask. any comments (and ratings) are welcome :)

nice candid smile, though somehow her eyes irritate me a bit. the left eye seems to be opened a bit wider and is more in focus/brighter. nonetheless, I love her curls and the overall feel with the tack sharp areas of hairs and face. congrats,

patrick

I like this shot, you captured the mood very good and convey the oppressive atmosphere. congrats,

patrick

a shot from the west coast of Ireland, where every passionate photographer should go to once in her or his life.

all your words are more than welcome, thanks in advance, patrick

Hi Rina, I like the subtle colors here and the composition works well for me too. nice shot, congrats,

patrick

fabulous image, Alex! I like the way the brigde pulls my attention into the image and to the clock tower. the long time exposure works perfectly here, really well done! congrats,

patrick

Now that I left Ireland again after 5 month of pleasure, I find the one or other shot on my hard drive that makes me sentimental for a moment or two :)

hope u like the seascape scenery and tell me what you think about it. cheers, patrick

just wanted to watch the sunset myself, when I saw this lovely couple stopping for a short moment of silence.

the lighting situation was not perfect for snapping an 'unflashed' shot without disturbing them.

hope you like the scene, thanks for ratings and comments

looks like someone copied your idea :D

Yet, I love your version and prefer it by far!

cheers, patrick

danke fuer deinen ausfuehrlichen Kommentar und dass du dir ernsthaft Gedanken ueber das Foto gemacht hast. Es ist nicht wirklich mit IR-Filter aufgenommen worden (da ich keinen besitze). Ich hab dafuer einen IR-Effekt des Photoshop-Plugins Nik Color Efex verwendet.

Zum Bildaufbau, ich hab hier mal drei Versionen erstellt, die deine Vorschlaege beruecksichtigen (Perspekt. ein wenig korrigiert + Steine entfernt / verrueckt).

Sieht das in etwa so aus, wie es vor deinem geistigen Auge ausgesehn hat? Welche Setup sagt dir jetzt am meisten zu?

LG, patrick

hope you like this experiment and how it turned out. please tell me what you think by writing a comment or rating this shot.

thanks, patrick

thanks, Giancarlo

what is 'wiw'?

I would have never imagined Ireland to be SO beautiful and Caribbean. Hope you like this shot and enjoy a good warm summer feeling right now.

thanks for your time that you shared with me,

patrick

Cristopher, thank you very much for your nice words. I really appreciate your detailed comment and the time you took to have a look at this shot and write down your thoughts.

also your minor critique helps me alot, I will keep that in mind for the next shots.

thanks, cheers,

patrick

a kind of different shot - providing discrepancy in content and mood. what do you think/feel about it? does it work for you?

I'm grateful for any hints and ideas you can provide, be it ratings or even better: your honest words.

thanks for your interest, patrick

thanks Tim, you're absolutely right about the 3/3s. I'm used to receive at least one on each of my shots, but sometimes I'm just curious to know what people want to tell me by that.

since I know there's still a lot for me to improve, it would be great if especially the not-so-good parts of shots are pointed out.
