My Image Your View: Hore Abbey
Jan 15, 2024 04:56:59 #
On our recent trip to Ireland, I took more 3 star or higher keeper images than I have in a lifetime. I attribute this to the subject, not the photographer. This image of Hore Abbey, in Cashel Ireland, became the cover page of a calendar I made for my wife for Christmas after it was processed. I have included the SOOC NEF file along with a jpg.

When I first saw this photo I thought crop just highlighting the castle. I tried that but lost all the impact of the single home in this large open area.
I removed the modern fence and then moved Revet's copywriter signature to the left making it less distracting but still readable.

For better or worse I cropped down to what I thought was the essence of the photo.

Here's mine. Not sure I like it better, but some, maybe.

I liked including the countryside. Basically, I added some haze in the background, enlarged the castle, and cropped just a bit. Thanks for the fun image to play with.
