  Capturing Autumn sunsets in Irish bogs is not to be recommended. Millions of blood thirsty midges in attendance.

  Glenmacnass River, near the Sally Gap, Wicklow Mountains, Ireland. Just before sunset – 4 Aug 2012.

  Canon 5DMII & 17-40mm f/4
  Lee 0.6 ND filter to get movement in the water & 0.6 hard grad to bring back the sky.
  f/16, 2.5 sec, ISO100, RAW, tweaked in Photoshop and finished in Nik’s Colour eFex Pro.

  Thks for looking. Bren

  Beautiful shot Bren, and those Gap midgies must be the fiercest
  in Ireland.

  Lovely composition. I might reduce the saturation of the greens a little.

  That’s a gem of a shot alright although I’m tempted to agree with SteveD about the greens.
