Karen, a classic example of how to make something simple a thing of beauty. So many wonderful touches here. The great leading lines, the placement of the lighthouse on a rule of third intersection and a sky and clouds which I find truely breathtaking
Wonderful shot and very very worthy of its placement and score
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this image with us
love the contrasts, shapes & colours in this brilliant photograph .. totally excellent .. congratulations on an excellent image and a great place in the challenge .. :)
Strong diagonal/S-curve and perspective (great depth because of it), excellent detail in both shadows and highlights, good (tasteful) colour rendition. Quite a satisfying, maritime landscape, well placed and seen in portrait format.
GREAT leading lines - the fence and the fences shadows...the s-curve as well. It's lovely. Perfectly framed. The colors are beautiful and that sky is flawless. Awesome.
Light and shadows are great. Wonderful leading line of the fence drawing the eye to the lighthouse. Crisp and clean image. Great horizon line. Well done.
This is an excellent photo, but I just wanted to make a brief comment on the composition. I'm not sure how this could be corrected within your shooting environment either. The only point of discomfort within this composition is the point at which the horizon and your subject come together. This feeling is reminiscent of the water horizon cutting off the head of a person on the beach or lake shore. This composition would be significantly stronger with the horizon line either above the top of the lighthouse or closer to the bottom of it.
