Life finds a way. A very good storytelling image. The contrasts make it a winner.

Ahhh, the clints and grykes of the Burren. This depicts the unique setting quite well. Lovely comp with the ferns! I admit to having periods of yearning for a return trip to Ireland. This is bound to start another one!

Daniel - I like how the Ferns break the monotony here. Lovely use of the diagonals from the rock crevices. Works very well as presented for me

I like the strong, bulky diagonals of the rugged rocks juxtaposed with the delicate ferns. A story indeed!

Thank you all for the very kind comments.
The Burren is a special place, with many examples of plants and flowers coming out from the rocks.
Thank you again.

Great to have seen this, and how superbly executed with such strong textures in the rocks. A truly lovely, beautifully toned image, D & L !!

Daniele & Loana, Great use of the diagonals, wonderful contrast between gray and green, harshness and softness. Excellent work.
