From the beach!

Full sky at the lighthouse!Salutations-Laurent

Laurent, this image clearly and dramatically contains two of your hallmarks: a big sky and the lighthouse. Its lighting makes the rest of the image hauntingly beautiful, aided by the subdued colors (except for the orange in the top right) and the sharp detail. I wish you and everyone you care about a spectacular 2020. - - My best always, michael

Michael...Thank you for the kind note and the appreciation of the repeat subjects with which I have to work/play!I also wish you and yours all the best for the New Year including the health to enjoy it all!Salutations-Laurent

Your ability to know exactly how much space to devote to heaven and earth is remarkable. Brilliant work, Laurent.

Wayne...Thank you for the kind observation.My rule of thumb is to put up as much sky up there and fill/adjust what remains of the frame with the ground;when this does not feel right,I try a 50/50 split and if this fails,I go to the rule of thirds,up or down.Glad you like this one enough for your Favorites folder!Hope you had some good Holidays to date and wish you and yours all the best for the New Year!Salutations amicales-Laurent
