Frosty Autumn Morning, a photo from Armagh, Northern Ireland

Photographer's Note

Taken This morning at 8 in a cold and frosty Derrymore woods in bessbrook Co Armagh. A picturesque wood owned by the National trust near that has the popular attraction Derrymore House just behind me from where this was taken.

Derrymore House in Bessbrook, N Ireland is typical of the informal thatched retreats, or cottages ornιes, boasted by many estates in the 18th century. It was built in a picturesque setting by Isaac Corry, who represented Newry in the Irish House of Commons for 30 years from 1776.

Bessbrook is situated in South Armagh about 5km west of Newry. It is passed on the S by the A25 and on the E by the B133 but neither road enters the village. The site was chosen in the mid-19th century to build a large linen factory and the core of the "Model Village" dates from the second half of that century. Most of the original village still exists and there are many modern additions.

thanks for looking
Gary

Excellent fall morning shot, Gary
I like the range of colors in your composition. The sun is well positioned behind the tree slightly. The fence creates a strong diagonal in the foreground and I really like the positioning of the one cow near the tree. Well done, Mike

Glint (6171) 2007-10-25 5:43

hello Gary,
delicious country scene. Love the silhouetted tree with sun's rays through. I lie te angle of the gate and fence as this leads us into the landscape; very atmospheric and I can feel that autumnal chill.

Hi Gary!
What a picture! Beautiful composition, the three in the middle and the cows onderneath it. Wonderful light and nice colors! Did you use a flashlight to light up the fence?
Everything is really clear and sharp in this one.
Great work! What an atmospheer!

Une lumiθre incroyable et un super cadrage.
Bravo !!!

Cormac (26565) 2007-10-25 8:24

This is a rather stunning shot - I might even call it a fantasy shot because of the near mystical light in this. Wonderful colour, and I like the composition very much, with the fence and tree combining very nicely. Excellent!

Hi Gary,
An eyecatching image for sure and although the colors are striking, to my liking they don't seem quite natural. I really like the angle created by the fence in the foreground. Nice work and TFS. Gerald

Hi Gary,

ah, that is a Gary the way I like them!! Great light captured!! This is a realy beauty, even without any props in the foreground ;-). Love the diagonal of the gate through the shot and the little details of the cows in the distance. Great work!!

Hi Gary,

The colors are surreal. Simply impressive. It's almost as if the whole thing is a painting. Makes me want to be there. Good choice on the vertical composition too.

Hello Gary,

This is the sort of image they like to hang in Board Rooms of corporations, for their inspirational power. The composition, colors, resolution and the post-processing are all exquisite.

Warm regards,
