Backlit Lighthouse

All comments are welcome. Cheers, Sondra

Really nice moment. Regards.

nice capture, i would have liked it more if the lighthouse wasn't centered. good gray tone of the photo. kind regards

Hello Sondra, I like this a lot, the tones are superb and the wind blown waves are excellent. Had you thought of composing this with more sea on the right?

 

Very best wishes.

...are a little distracting if the lighthouse is the main subject but it seems just silly to be concerned about such exquisite detail. The overall image is really spectacular.

Well, I think this is good but would be stronger if you removed some of the foreground. As it is, I feel that there are three competeing areas of interest: the lighthouse, the crashing waves, and the foreground ocean. Cropping would bring the center down and place more importance on the lighthouse and whitecapped waves. I took the liberty of trying that out and uploaded my effort. Regards.

Brillante imagen, con un bello encuadre y perfectos tonos, un coordial saludo Sondra

Thanks, Walter, I agree with your suggestions and crop. Happy New Year! Sondra

Sondra, You really captured the essence of this scene. The sun highlighting the mist and spray blowing from the peaks of the waves, and good shadow detail in the lighthouse and the rocks below it.....your use of your camera is beyond reproach.....Jim

Good photo!

wild !

Hi Sondra, Nice balance. I prefer the uncropped version, and the whitecaps on the breakers really make this photo, as well as the little amount of light coming through the Fresnel Lens on the lighthouse. I still think you need to come to Oregon though :-) Great work.

Beautiful composition. I agree with Walter. Regards, and happy new year, Henri.

Thanks, everyone for your suggestions and comments as they are greatly appreciated. Cheers, Sondra
