Bleak

End of April 2009, Donegal hills, Ireland. There are many examples of this bleak beauty in the Irish landscape. It’s something I am very attracted to, especially in Connemara, and here in Donegal. This image turned out quite brown, which I like, but I wanted to practise dodging and burning, so I used this photo. I’ve tried to be subtle, but will not be offended if you have any criticisms. I’ll just got to my room, close the door, and howl! Only kidding!

AGNES…..The landscape, nature also has a harsh beauty … from the color of the earth, where plains and the clear sky in the distance make the table beautiful view…...
