Very dramatic. The sharpness you've preserved in both the castle and broken sky is excellent, especially through the IR filter. The angle is great and the fisheyeness of it makes me feel unsteady just to be sat down.

Wow, you've really used that fishey distortion to your advantage in this composition! I really like how that tree almost seems to surround the towers that would normally look much bigger. But the best thing is how the IR makes trees and the cloudy sky look white and tone in tone! Quirky little thing is that the windows of the small tower remind me of the hollow eyes of a skull or specter - giving the picture a very subtle eerie note, but the overall impression is one of somber serenity. Just what I like in a pic! The view down from Blarney Castle was already impressive, but I like this one even better. Probably my fav pic of all those taken in the IR + fisheye combination!

Beautifully done.

I created the colouring with the channel mixer, hue saturation slider and picking white points, grey points and black points in curves. I used an IR filter to take the shot, AND post processed.
Thanks for the comment.

I was only kidding. Hope you liked Ireland. I'm from Cork, not far from where this pic was taken.

Great angle and a good use of the IR lens too, it creates the senes that everything is snow dusted. There's also a real sense of stillness about the piece too, which really makes it feel like a frozen moment in time, further helping to create a winter wonderland type feel.

It was ubertouristy and kitchy, but I am happy with my photos.
