Lonely house in the Burren

    Bit of a lurker so first time posting.

    Taken the weekend before last. B&W conversion in Lightroom. I’m thinking of going back here when the grass isn’t as long. Any constructive crit welcome.

    Hi Diarmaidol,

    That’s a nice photo, I especially like the wind ravaged tree. I’m new to photography, but maybe it could’ve done with more of that lovely sky, instead of all the long grass in the foreground? That’s just my opinion anyway. :)

    its hard to call about the foreground V sky in this one as i really like that line of rocks, id probably have to see both to decide! nice image all the same and i like the angle of view on the building and its position to the right of the frame. nice contrast too

    That was exactly it. I liked the interest of the rocks in the foreground however what I feel I missed was bringing the entrance to the house into the photo.

    The wind swept tree really makes this photo…nice composition. I’d love to see it when the grass isn’t as long

    While your shot has been well converted into B&W I feel that there are too many elements in your photo competition for the viewers attention. Despite your title the tree seems to me to demand most attention followed by the stones in the foreground. The remains of the house seems more like an afterthought. While your shot is well taken and exposed I feel that your sense of composition has let you down. This is of course is just my opinion, and I would encourage you to produce more work in this vain.

    I wouldn’t judge the photo on the Forum title ;-)
    I take your point on the clutter. I think however it’s the long grass that’s the cause. The House are Tree I considered the subject with the rocks framing the lower part of the picture.
