A view of Galway Bay from Barna, Co. Galway
The thing that caught my attention here was the banding of 'zones' from top to bottom. At the top of the image, the sky already took on the appearance of night and the partial moon glowed brightly. The distant thunderhead reflected the sun, but the lower portion of it was partially obscured by a combination of the Earth's shadow, water vapor, and possibly some smoke. The distant Burren was dark, but the water in and some of the boulders in the foreground still hinted that the sun was just about to completely disappear. Overall, the scene was calm and I think the photo reflects that feeling accurately.
