To the Lighthouse Past (tribute to dan_pendleton)by
theSajComment by Neuferland: Greetings from the Critique Club!
What a lovely image, such a peaceful feeling, I love sea shots and lighthouses so this is a nice shot overall for me to start with.
But evidently not the general public from the looks of the score and placing.
If I were to compare this to the original by dan_pendleton there are several differences to start but let's just talk about this one by itself.
The overall composition is alright but all the negative space doesn't really work for me on this shot. Maybe zooming in closer to the lighthouse to make it a bigger part of the shot so it really grabs my attention or at least holds it. The duotone is nice but very light, not a lot of darker to lighter, it's rather dull and not a lot of variation to the tones.
The noise also does not lend to this shot to me, a crisper shot would probably do better and I really would love to see this shot with the color.
I also would like to thank you again for the advice you gave me on my flyer. I have it printed out and am still working on all of it.
Hope my comments help, again, love the idea, the sea and the lighthouse.
Good luck in future challenges!
