Description
The viewpoint I have taken this photograph from has a name, but I can't remember it to save my life
As I was driving from Bushmills, towards Portrush, I stopped here, as the car park was overlooking the cliffs. I jumped the safety barrier to get closer to the cliffs, set up the tripod and waited for the sun to come out. I didn't get much time, just after 3 minutes it started to rain. You can see it was raining over Portrush already.

Hello!
This is a critique provided on behalf of #Xpose-it
Jumping the safety barrier always pays off! I love this capture! It reminds me of the South Islands of the UK. You've angled this just right, framing a nice amount of that stormy sky, the sea and cliffs and the rocks at the bottom. Without those it wouldn't have such a sense of depth and 'drop.' So well done for that.
Just a picky point really, right in the middle of the foreground there's a lack of grass! If you had taken a step backwards there would probably be a bit more there just to even out the framing - that's more personal preference than anything else.
The sea is a lovely capture here, you've really got that storm feeling going on and I admire that you've been able to capture that. Perhaps a density filter or something might pick out the harshness of the clouds a little more but really, this is lovely. Great work!

Thanks for taking the time to critique
You're not the first one to point out the lack of grass in the middle. The picture was stitched from a few vertical shots, because of distorsion and the way the stitching algorythm works you always lose a bit from the bottom and top. I didn't compensate enough and lost that bit of grass
I'm glad you liked the photograph.

Is that Portrush?!
I have never been there - why have I never been there - wow.
I love the colors on the photograph - they're not too strong/obtrusive, yet intense - plus the enlightened piece of land out in the middle; without this, the composition would make the impression of dullness and dreariness. With, however, it has some feature of a magic though.

I've actually been to the Anchor last year, not a bad spot. It's a bit out of the way though when you live in Belfast

This looks almost exactly like Hawaii; it's uncanny. I've often noticed quite a few similarities between Hawaii and Ireland. It's very interesting.

Yes...huge difference there.

I love the scenery in Ireland, it and Scotland are on a par for rugged country that I find beautiful (spent my formative years pre-teen in Scotland so that maybe pips it a little bit). Photos like this remind me just how beautiful Ireland can be.

The countryside in Ireland is beautiful, the cities are a disaster
