The Lighthouse

Less is more......... a look at the clean crisp evening at Long Beach

very good image and reflection!!

Well done landscape, Alec. As usual!

very very good image

How did you get theme to plant the trees in a straight line? You really did an excellent job on this one. The colors of the sky and water conbine to make this image pretty intense.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, Howard, to think it's a straight shot from the camera. And they said Long Beach is boring, dull and drap............ Try Shoreline Village which is near this lighthouse. Full of colors there. Love it.

I like this much more than previous two. Really neat.

A lot more in this case. Great composition, and sharp too.

Almost an abstract. Great composition and reflection.

Thanks Kurt, Ray, Roberto, coming from all three seasoned photographers made my day special today.

My comment It?s not only for this picture but the whole studio. I have seen all your pictures and I?m really impressed, What a professional, colourfull and imaginative they are. I?m still an amateur but I hope some day I will emprove my photography. Thanx for sharing your art.

Appreciate your comments. Glad to share my works and I'm sure you can learn from it as I have continued to learn from the great guys in Photo.net.

Great shot! I really like this reflection ! Regards - Sergei

I have to admit that it came out better than I thought it would, but I am wondering if you should have waited for a boat to cruise along in the foreground ... say 1/3 into the frame from the right side.

Great effect creatid with the perfect simmetry. I love tis photo, Alec!

Love the lighthouse and the trees and the reflections. I wonder if a little cropping on the top and bottom (maybe a panarama) would improve the composition even more?

Lovely catch Alec, simple yet sophisticated. This is one of the best reflections I've seen. The deep blue drops into the centre of frame.....great! I wish it were mine!

How wonderful to capture such an interesting subject in perfect reflection at the perfect time of day. Beautiful light. I don't know why, but my eyes suggest cropping a little off the left. I guess they are naturally drawn to the light house, but then there's just not much interesting to look at on it's left. Nice job!

Thanks everyone for the recent comments.

 

B. Tan, you were there with me and the marina was absolutely still. How long do you want to wait for a boat to come along before the sun goes down? (",)

 

Montgomery, I actually cropped quite a lot from the top and bottom already to get to this image. I think the space now is just right for my sub-title "Less is More". Don't you think so?
