title IRISH MOUNTAIN LAKE
date10/25/2007 12:15:28 AM
detailsAn idyllic serene place in the beautiful Irish mountains near Kenmare.
In Ireland I saw for the first time the unusual climatic phenomenon of the sudden successions between a completely cloudy sky and a glorious sun.
These unbelievable for me and extreme wheather changes can, in some cases, be repeated more than ten times during a day.

I admire how easily you pass from the portraits to landscapes and to other subjects. The light passing through the clouds creates a wonderful feeling. Best regards Elli.

Gorgeous image - love the dramatic lighting.

beautiful scene Karolos! makes me want to visit too. I think the edit could be better and make a smoother looking photo. looks a tiny bit oversharp and contrasty especially here..I do love this wonderful scene though and I know you can take a critical comment.

ow Karolos. Now this has drama. Like the overall dark exposure and the foreboding sky. Wonderful detail and overall compostion. Stunning!!
14 Per Håkon Christiansen   (10/25/2007 10:10:57 AM)

Beautiful composition, perfect exposure and outstanding contrast between thr dramatic sky and the rocky hills around the lake. Impeccable light control. Congrats Karolos.
16 LindaY ( )     (10/25/2007 11:27:04 AM)
Beautiful, Karolos. I really like the way that you captured the light and colors here. We have similar weather conditions in the spring sometimes and the lighting is quite dramatic and almost surreal as your photo shows here so well.

Amazing contrasting sky and sunlit landscape. I think the shadows really create a fantastic mood.

Dark and brooding, the subdued colour and threatening skies over the calm water make this a winner for me.

LOL as Steve says, welcome to the British weather ('multiweather' a speciality ;) Lovely landscape.
23 Jouko   (10/25/2007 2:38:13 PM)
Masterful shot! A tad dark it is, but more dramatic then! Superb POTD(W?) shot!!
24 herman blockx   (10/25/2007 4:22:23 PM)
superb indeed!
25 Zenonas   (10/25/2007 4:51:21 PM)
Wonderful scenery! I like the dramatic light and dark tonality. And texture of the landscape...

27 Les McLean ((I don't do baskets) ))   (10/25/2007 5:45:17 PM)
Agree totally with Cheryl, the editing is way too heavy, Ireland is a soft pastellly place, not angry and aggressive.

Get your edit right and this image will work.

Nearly there
28 Tim Pereira (T-Bear )   (10/25/2007 8:30:11 PM)
What a great shot!! The impact this shot has is outstanding!! But, I have a few things I would like to comment on.

Now, KAROLOS, do not get me wrong, I really like this photo but the cloud reflection right here, does not look right. IMHO, it looks like clouds, not a reflection.

The sky looks great, those clouds look so awesome, it is unreal. But with a sky like that, isn't there too much light from here- to here-. I mean, there is not one shadow on the landscape for all those clouds.

KAROLOS, I do not mean any disrespect. Right now, you are the top photographer on Photoblink in both the Blink score and the average score and I really look up to you. This was just my humble opinion, my intention was not to put your photo down.

:)

Very nice light and place! A bit too dark for my taste, but the light is great. It adds texture to the rocks.

#27 Les McLean: Agree with Cheryl and Les McLean here!!!
You give your landscapes the same quite heavy treatment in ps as your portraits!!!
This is looking like brick on estomac actually!!!
Overwhelming view, though!!!
