Black Valley, a photo from Kerry, Sud

Photographer's Note

Lough Duff in the foreground and The Black Valley fading into the distance. The Macgillycuddy reeks are north in the lefthand side of the shot.

All taken on a surprisingly clear day up high hill walking in Kerry during the summer

Good shot. Although the back of the image is a bit fussy, the foreground more then makes up for that. The deep dark blue of the lake is very peculiar. Good job.

Very beautiful photograph, with a very good light and depth of field splendid. It is a right shame which the clouds obscure the foreground, it was perhaps necessary to wait a little more time before taking the photograph, by hoping that the clouds will mask the background which is over-exposed a little.

Is this a black lake? I like the shadows of the clouds.

This is a gorgeous photograph - fantastic job with your composition, and I love the play of light and shadow. It must have been something of a hike up there? The background is a bit underexposed (probably due to the distances); I did a workshop playing with it, hope you don't mind!
