Lighthouse sunset

Nice photo...the colors are great! Minor critique is that the silhoutted trees over-dominate the left hand side. Also, the file is huge! Its hard to see the whole thing unless on small thumbnail, which is small...nice job nonetheless!

Nice scene and great light. Nice job capturing the moment.

To improve it make the tree less dominant and be careful to have a level horizon line especially whenever water is included in the photo. Best wishes to you!

I agree with what has been said. The colors are great, but the file is too big. The rule of thumb I use is to make the longest side 800 pixels, so usually my pics end up being 800x533 for a horizontal shot. The horizon is a little slanted and I think the tree is a little too dominant. And, on my monitor, there are some white specks that show up throughout the picture, probably originating during the scan. It's good shot, though. Thanks for sharing it.

The branches are really too overbearing, minimizes the lighthouse size way too much.

As others have pointed out, the horizon is a bit tilted, I also would have liked the trees in the foreground to take up a smaller part of the image. I took the liberty of putting my words into practice and implemented these with the aid of Adobe Photoshop 6. Forgive me for manipulating your image, all rights to the image are of course your's.

In its manipulated state I would rate it higher.

I like the cropped and rotated version better. Nice color.

Pretty doggone good for a first upload.

I love the colors, As for the tree it is a little distracting, but if you crop it real tight you can use the tree to frame it!!!
