Three Triangles

This shot was taken near The Vee in Co Tipperary.
Comments and advice welcome.
Thanks, Maurice.

It looks a beautiful place Maurice, & I like the triangle composition.
I do find myself wanting to lean ever so slightly to the left, as to my eye the horizon isn't quite straight.
Of course that may lose some of the foreground triangle area, which is important in the composition, as it gives me that feeling of being there, rather than just looking at what you saw (if that makes sense)

Kay, I thought about horizon not been straight but decided to leave it alone.
Thanks, Maurice.

Hi Maurice,

I like the view and the triangles.

I agree with the idea that the shot may not be level, to avoid this problem myself, I use the electronic level in my camera (many modern ones have them these days). Using it means I can be fairly confident I did shoot my shots level and avoids issues like this arising.

An alternative is to buy and use a hot shoe level (they're not expensive), which I also have and use on my older camera (no e-Level), or on either camera when using the UWA, for which I need to keep it level along the lens axis too.


Going back to your shot, if mine, I would give this scene a slight boost of 'Clarity' (LR or ACR).
You are commended on a good exposure and not blowing those clouds.

Cheers, Dave

Really nice with the fresh atmosphere Maurice, peaceful colors and mood enriched by the beautiful cloudy sky; well done.

I just wonder about a slight crop from the top and right side?

Maybe reduce the sky between the top of the cloud and the image edge by half with a balancing amount from the right?

Thanks again, you saw it as I saw it.

GEoff F, can see where you are coming from.
Thanks for help Maurice.
