Joyeuse Saint-Patrick ! Photo

Photographer’s Note

C'est la Saint-Patrick aujourd'hui, donc je me devais de poster une image irlandaise ! Nous sommes ici tout au nord du comté de Mayo, sur la pointe de Downpatrick Head, d'impressionnantes falaises qui terminent un paysage typiquement irlandais. La statue que vous apercevez sur la photo est celle de Saint-Patrick en personne ! Bonne fête de la Saint-Patrick à tous les membres irlandais de TE et à tous les amoureux de l'Irlande ;)

Hello Olivier,
I know this place very well;)
This is a well composed shot taken from a good POV. Of course the weather could have been better but then the whole mood of this photo would be different. I have to say that I really like that gray and rainy mood and this beautiful view. It is an ideal picture for Saint Patrick's Day!!
Best regards and Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Darek

Bonsoir Olivier,
En ce 17 mars cela s'imposait et je trouve que ce St Patrick est effectivement dans un bel atmosphère celtique.
Bonne soirée
Marc

Olivier,
Very nice shot of a typical Irish contryside, showing land open meadow with lovely pink flowers as in the forground leading us into the middle ground of the statues, I wish the statues is a bit more significant in size to serve as an anchor point for our vision. The sea and distant hills with houses and farm and really show the essence of Irland. Unfortunatet the weather is not as good for you, but you did a wonderful job with the deatial under such low light. Happy St Patricks day to you too.
Way

Bonjour Olivier
Il doit se sentir un peu seul St Patrick dans ce coin la car on dirait bien qu'il n'y a pas un chat a des kms a la ronde, la luminosite est tres... irlandaise, dommage car un peu de lumiere aurait fait mieux ressortir les fleurs de 1er plan.
Bonne journee JY

Bonjour Olivier,

Voila une facon bien originale de feter la St Patrick.
Une belle ambiance sur ce paysage: on sent l action du vent avec le rendu de la mer.
Sympa aussi ce premier plan coloré qui tranche avec les couleurs plus jansenistes de l arriere plan.

Yves.

Hi Olivier,
it is a very pretty shot from Ireland.
Or rather I should say a very true shot.
The colors are very natural.
Ireland is advertising itself as a country with 40 shades of green but it is only true with a sunny weather. On most days it looks like in your photo, which is still interesting and certainly requires a lot of creativity from a photographer.
It is so easy to take a shot in California! but come to Ireland and you will see how difficult it may become. :)
Thanks for sharing this place, I plan to visit Mayo and I need some ideas where to go...
