    One step to the left and it would have been symmetrical.

    This is a frustrating symptom of phones with off-center cameras, you need to actually use the viewfinder and not just line up the phone centrally like you would intuit

    What??

    I don't knownof any camera that you don't use the view finder. Phone or otherwise.

    You look in the viewfinder to take photos? Weird. For this photo I would simply just measure the width of the doorway, subtract the width of my phone, divide that by 2, measure from the edge of the doorway to where I want to take the photo, and place my phone in the middle of the floor. Then turn on my phone and NOT look at the viewfinder to take the picture. Easy!

    The national gallery is such a beautiful and peaceful place on a Winter's morning

    These doorways are really cool up close. Each one has a different design, including all these little gargoyle-esque faces, a few on each doorway and each face totally unique. Worth taking a closer look for anyone who visits

    Fun fact: Gargoyles on buildings are waterspouts, the one's without a spout are grotesques.

    I love the gallery layout, feels really cool to walk from one room to another and it feels like a whole new place

    The right side needs cropping so the painting is nearly removed and the image is tilted 1 degree down to the right side.

    lol yeah, I noticed this after posting it 🤦‍♀️

    Thanks for the feedback though!

    I like that you saw the moment in the first place, we walk around not seeing only looking at general scenes rather than the details.

    You have a good eye for a photo, career wise, it might open some doors for you..

    Although its free, and quite prominent I cant help feel its not a unversal place. Its one of the most fabulous experiences in ireland, but do we , particularly those far outside Dublin get a chance to be there , get lost in it and appreciate it.....

    If you are free to all visitors, self sustaining, and welcoming to all … should you really need to send targeted ads to Eddy from Athenry so he can’t miss it? Or is it up to Eddy to find the gallery?

    Well I’d say that’s not the National Gallery’s fault. Every time I go to Dublin I visit it and it never fails to delight. When I mention it when I get home I get blank stares from most people. Most people these days place a higher cultural value on singing Killeagh and droning on about Stranger Things.

    How could it be made more universal?

    Not frighten people from other side of ireland with the price of hotels...Make it a thing that all of us can enjoy our wonderful island, it's culture and scenery, people and art....

    This cuts both ways....a lot of people in our big urban centers don't make it to west coast and really get i touch with it either.

    I always feel lost, overwhelmed and confused in art galleries. Too many doors, exits, stairs, lifts, corridors etc Perhaps they are deliberately confusing in order to deter potential art thieves!
