I love taking photos, even when I'm in the car, on a boat, in the air ... here are some shots from Ireland and Wales

Really good set eye707, The second one with the little Bothy about to be swallowed up by a storm is terrific and with a little PP work could IMHO be a classic picture.
(Just a note, The Houses of Parliament, the last 2, are in England, Sorry)

Thanks, Geoff. The last two pictures do say sailing on the Thames, but you can't really see the title.

What can I do to fix the other one (the storm in Ireland)

If you took this in RAW format then I would start there, and adjust the Camera settings to Camera Faithful, then the white balance to cloudy. Then using the the sliders bring the best out of the clouds to make them more angry and bring out the highlights in the shadow areas. I use PhotoshopElements 12 which I would then go to, or if you shot in jpeg you would start there,and using layers ,lasso the sky and work on that then lasso the green areas and work on that, then finish it with dodging and burning.

If you wish I can downloads it and have a go.

Thanks for the advice, Geoff. I have PhotoElements 12 and I actually did do a lot of work on the photo already. There were electrical lines running through it and the whole picture was rather gray because it was shot through a bus window! It's an old photo, too, shot with one of my older SONY cameras (Either the F717 or F828) so the pixel power wasn't terrific...
