I've recently come back from some time in Ireland looking for and finding on some occassion locations that light the 'fire in my belly'.
Ireland is known for being green from all the rain it gets, but on the visit I was there, it had a 'high pressure' over it for two weeks...and the stormy weather turned up on the ferry ride home (don't worry only a 12 foot swell).
We found a lovely spot on the South Coast of Ireland (probably a bit of a honeypot site for Landscape photographers much in the same way as the Old Man of Storr is on the Isle of Skye). The weather was calm, not a perfect sunset but still nice and a lovely moon took its form in the Sky in light magenta and pinky cloud...and we were lucky that the tide was going out and that it was gentle. Anyway I hope you like. C&C welcome.

Very strong image with gorgeous colors.
Composition works well for me and the moon adds just a bit of extra to the image.
Perhaps using a graduated filter would have made the image even stronger.

While the image is excellent and well executed I want a slightly higher viewpoint so the middle ground rocks don't touch the distant rocks in the middle of the pic. I think the light is great with the emphasis on the middle of the image.

This is a lovely place with lots of potential.
My first thoughts on first seeing this image were the same as Bill's, I'd have gone for a slightly higher viewpoint for separation between the middle rocks and the horizon/distant rocks.
Also the middle rocks act as a stopper, one's eye doesn't flow through the image and apart from the cliffs on the left, there's no real lead-in line to the image, not that there always has to be of course, rules are there to be broken
Well done Ian.
Geoff.

Hi Ian,
really nice shot I like the different lighting on the cliffs
Minor nits ( which I had not noticed until pointed out ) covered

Hello Ian.
Lovely calm feel to this as are the colour tones. I like it.
