Ardmore Round Tower - a photo on Flickriver

            Ardmore is a seaside resort and fishing village in County Waterford, Ireland, located on the south coast of Ireland,
and is home to the Ardmore Round Tower and Cathedral ruins.  

The historic complex contains a well-preserved 30-m-high, 12th-century round tower and the ruins of a Cathedral dating from the 12th and 13th centuries with an adjacent 8th century oratory. 

One of the outer walls of the Cathedral features some stone carvings retrieved from an earlier 9th-century building, including a very early image of a harp.

It is one of the earliest monastic sites in Ireland and was probably founded sometime in the 5th century AD by St. Declan. It is said that the saint was buried there. Indeed there is a grave, but it is now empty.

Captured Sept. 2008 with an Olympus 570 super zoom bridge camera.

Edited this morning on the desktop in Photoshop.  
First two images were merged together with come cropping and image repair and fill-ins.
Next came some general corrections in Nik's Viveza and Color Efex Pro.  

Once I was happy with that I went into Alien Skin Exposure x2 and applied Kodak Portra 160VC color print film type which made the whole image pop.  I also make some adjustments to the presets.
