About the photograph - The View from Crohy

Crohy Head was one of many places that I had marked for a revisit on my return to Donegal. And I have to say that when I did return, I was not disappointed. Crohy Head has so many stunning views it is hard to choose a location and composition. What caught my eye for this photograph, apart from the sheep, was the coastline. I used a tight crop to emphasise it’s curved shape that is wonderfully highlighted by the crashing waves and leads the eye through the scene to the beautiful Donegal mountains. 

In terms of shooting, the wind was very tricky. Too strong to use a tripod, and hard to stand up in, so I had to shoot handheld. Given the conditions, I'm really happy with the result.
