Peggy's Cove Winter Sunset

The sun looks warm but wind was cold! Waited for hours to get this shot.

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

That swirl of cloud colour is really something to behold!  And its set behind a wonderful lighthouse too! I can't fault the composition or the overall aesthetics it looks great! The only small suggestion I would make is to straighten the lighthouse, it appears to lean slightly to the right (possibly as a result of barrel distortion)

Compliments & Best Regards

Bryan & Ann......Nice composition. Large view looks great sitting back here with a cup of hot chocolate. Regards, Bob.

I like this "cold" scene, lighthouses are lonely "tools"...This picture shows that in a very artistic way, well done! Best regards.

Thanks for the comments!  After taking shots for a while I did run and get a hot chocolate!  I knew I had to stay for sunset.

Alf, I leveled the picture using the water as a reference but you're right, the lighthouse is slightly leaning.  I was most likely at around 18mm so I do believe t's barrel distortion.  I'll see if I can straighten that out in my local copy.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, the lighthouse is leaning-- naturally.  Not as extreme as the Tower of Pisa, but slightly enough to annoy!  I think it's right-on as is.    

First time I went to Peggy's Cove I was about 12 or 13.  I went back in June 2013 and spent lots of time at the lighthouse.  I really would love to go back again.  The lighthouse is definitely leaning!  It's more noticeable depending on what angle you are shooting from too.  I LOVE THIS SHOT!  Do you have it for sale anywhere online?
