Some info on the shot...
Taken around 11-11:30 PM.
Full Moon. Scary place to be for the first 5 minutes, then you realize its just you, the crickets, and the crashing of the waves and it almost becomes serene.
A big thank you to Skip for introducing me to the lighthouse and his amazing shot that inspired this one.
I think the subdued light on the lighthouse is good just as it is. The stars in the background are a big plus. Colors in the lighthouse and the sky are a nice complementary contrast. What's not to like!!!
I agree that the composition and perspective are excellent - with the moon behind to backlight. I also agree with Magen about the shadows in front. Maybe a reflector to light paint the front of the lighthouse might be cool to try
Lovely shot. I really like that you can see the stars in the sky... but the front of the lighthouse is in the shadows. Not a huge deal, I still really like the pick. Composition is lovely, and the colors are great.
