    I saw a little man

    "A tiny man was he" was reminded of that little poem when i saw this while driving through a little village and no prizes for guessing what country i was in.Comments always welcomed.

    I like the composition and the colours - you have a good eye for these.

    I personally would have prefered for the background to be less in focus as there are a few areas of light green among the darkness which I keep being drawn to. I guess more DOF would have eradicated these distractions.

    The painter could have been a little more carefull and is that white paint on top of the cap stone?

    This is on the wall of a pub and i guess the painter had a few as he worked on this. Yes that is faded paint on the capping stone of the house next door. Thanks to you and paul for your comments.. Here's another from the same place.

    Re: I saw a little man

    Must come back to visit Dublin again. I haven'e been there since the early 90's.

    You have a good eye for colour and an interesting way of capturing the charachter of Ireland. This looks good as is but have you got the whole pub as well, it looks as if the whole place looks interesting, makes me want to see more of the place and even have a guiness or two.

    My only nitpic is can you blur the things in the window - distracting but difficult to loose

    Re: I saw a little man

    Bothg of these are fine, but the first seems to have a color cast . . or just needs some levels or curves adj. Yes, looks like the painter had a few stouts. The second post I like as it gives a nice feel of the place. I feel the bird statue should be in sharper focus though.

    Inside of this pub was like a museum the last time we were there but place had been sold and owners took most of the stuff with them. These are taken in a place called 4 mile bridge.
