Mountains of Wicklow at Dusk

Fabulous, thank you.

Beautiful images. Either could hang on my wall.

Two great images, indeed. On #2, if the grainy aspect was not intended, a noise reduction tool could add to the image, IMHO. Well done!

Regards,

Thank you so much Kevin, Irene and Otávio. At ISO 1600 it's going to be a bit grainy Otávio, especially when I increased the contrast a little. But I think you are correct. Some work with noise suppression would probably be worth while.

As you suggested Otávio, I re-visited number 2 and solved a few other problems also. I think this is better.

Many thanks for your most useful feedback.

They work...landscapes that make me want to visit.

Lovely image. IMO, a bit more contrast would separate the near from the far portions of this image. I did it by globally increasing the structure using NIK Vivesa.

It looks a lot better now, IMO. Nice post processing job. Cheers,

Aweesome Neville, the second one is my favourite... Love the layers.

Richard, that mages a huge difference. I'll be taking another look at this image to emulate as close as possible what you did. I'll also assess whether to order The Nik software. It looks impressive. Many thanks for taking the time.

Thanks for that Matt. It is a great place to explore.

BTW, I sent a message to you on Saturday a.m. via your excellent website to ask you if you had heard anything about why CIC was down. So, just ignore it.

Hi Neville, I got the message... I think I replied? I was on a camping/quad biking trip!

Beautiful images.

Thank you Kim. It is one of a few scenic hot-spots in the area.
