Though I didn't get a chance to comment on this challenge, this shot was the only one I gave a 10 (lots of nines though). Very well done. Congrats on your best finish... so far.
Thank you all for the comments & for helping me hit my best placement to date! :o)
To answer one question, the orange area on the bottom to the far left is the covered front porch archway & the others are windows. The building does have more windows, but none of them have a counter window to show straight through. Too many walls in between them.
This is Fire Island Lighthouse on Long Island.
Just lovely -- your sky has wonderful colors -- I'd like to see even more spaces for it to show through in the bottome of the shot. as presented -- one of my favorites in the challenge
One of my favorites. A potential ribbon! I like the way the widows on the right highlight the siloutte. But on the left, what is that? Another window? Kind of distracting. I think I would black out all three of the windows so as not to distract from the siloutte. Good luck! 9
I like the image, I like the silhouette and, light houses are popular subjects for silhouettes, so you have a good subject of interest. The only thing I do NOT like, is the composition which for me, is just too visually tight a composition. Also, i have not yet figured out why but, my mind keeps wanting to see the lighthouse on the left side of the image, but that's only a horizontal rotation away :-)
Nice colors. Good timing to catch the light as it passed. Orange in the windows at the base add a point! Base could be cropped a bit - take away about 1/2 of the black bottom.
