    Sorry but im new to this just trying to get better, any c&c will always be welcome thanks

    Timoleague abbey was founded by the franciscan order in 1240 A.D. The abbey was built on the site of a monastic settlement founded by Saint Molaga in the 6th century. The villages name comes from the Irish for House of Molaga, Tigh Mologa.The abbey was extended by Donal Glas McCarthy in 1312, and by Irish and Norman patrons in the 16th century. The monks were dispersed by the Reformation, but returned in 1604. In 1612 the abbey was sacked by English soldiers who also smashed all of the stained glass windows, but much of the significant architecture remains. The friars remained in the abbey until 1629.

    Hi Shaneog. Not a bad set at all. I think the main problem with them overall is the harsh lighting as the highlights seem to be blown. #1 is a nice composition and I like the inclusion of the bird. I’m not sure about your constraints in #2, but I feel it would have been better if taken straight on to the window frame to keep it even. #3 is the best exposure IMO, but the nearest section seems blown a bit too. #4 I feel, the cropping of the window frame lets it down. I think a re-visit in less harsh light would greatly improve these, but I’m no expert on these type of shots.
