  Causeway for Giants by Tom Halpin

  The Giant’s Causeway is photographed to death for obvious reasons – so on a trip last year through Northern Ireland, ending in an afternoon session at the Causeway, I captured a few alternative images – with this being one of them.

  Comments and Critique welcome as always!

  its refreshing to see a different take on a much photographed subject I would probably have left more sky up top for me it isnt in or out but then again as you said you were trying “alternative”.

  I agree about perhaps more of the sky – unfortunately that is the full frame of the shot so the only alternation would be cropping out the sky which I think would be less effective than the current shot since I think the feeling of height/size is important in this and without any background at all it would likely loose it’s sense of grandeur, but likely would work as a more texture/line based image or concept.

  Lovely shot, I was up there myself taking photos on saturday. I found it very hard to get the shots I wanted, with the amount of people around.
