Comeragh Mountains
Explore #406 on Sunday, November 16, 2008
Comeragh mountains in County Waterford. Beautiful gentle slopes and the heather and grass covering them like a piece of tapestry.
Another effect from Piknik. Would like to choose my own colour etc settings and still keep the black film lines but it wouldn't let me.

Its beautiful Athena.
Apart from the black lines, what changes did you make? To me it just looks like you caught lovely natural colours and lighting

Brilliant........

Love this. The whole thing just comes together from the randomness of the fenceposts to the sheep and that patch of light green left of centre. I don't think that you could improve on the Piknik effect regarding the colours.

Your travel shots are all fab! This especially is just like being there - or may even better. Like the way the color turned out.

Thanks everyone, glad you like it! allcarrots, I'm not sure which it is but you can't beat actually being there, for me!! :-)
kilree5, thank you, that feedback is helpful! But it's really that I lost the blue of the sky which has me most bothered, but having said that, the way that effect cropped out the sky, I suppose there wasn't much blue left!

lovely framing with the fence. well done making the barbed wire fence look attractive thats not easy
Athena's Pix (57 months ago | reply)
Thank you very much ka1mi! They're not that attractive for sure, but in this instance there was a rustic value and the crooked one just totally lent it the attitude I wanted!

Thanks very much Mari, it was an experimental pic from last year. The original had same comp. more or less, I just messed around with effects.
Thanks Vic, I think it's the odd post leaning there, which probably is the redemption of the shot!
