Doolough, Co Mayo

Beautiful light between the showers at Doolough, Co Mayo. Was actually driving away after standing here for an hour or so ( wife and kids waiting patiently in the car!), then as I was driving away the rain started (I was about 2 miles away), so we turned and I set up again hoping that the amazing light you get between the showers would break through, and it did briefly.

Patience, especially when the family tags along is not always easy, congrats on the shot. You managed to capture the light really well.

Thank you for the kind words Sean! :)

How you managed to put that time in with the family there, beats me. Well done to you all, a very powerful image.

Haha thanks Ian! We were away for a few days and the idea was, during the day its all about my wife and the boys, and then during the golden hours its all about me lol! After this shot I drove to the next town and got them a nice big takeaway.

Like very much the composition: if you permit I could say that the general chromatic contrast is not so strong as it should to be, to be more specific the yellow is a little bit off, but is just a matter of post production. Congratulation for the family management

Thank you! Would this be because my monitor is not calibrated or how should the yellow look in terms of this image?
Thanks!

In this moment I'm in office and my monitor here is not so good..anyway in my opinion is not a matter of color but contrast (it seems a little bit flat)

Ok thanks! I'm just a hobbyist so I'm open to any advice/tips etc. Thank you for your comment, I will add more 'punch' to the image in Lightroom

Just try and see if you like or not ;)
Ciao!

Added bit more contrast

Quite close to the previous one, anyway it's a very good shot

Awesome light. I dig this.
