Lighthouse Beach, Midwinter

Comment by MargaretNet:
First Impressions: for some reason sadness (maybe because there is some blue) and being lost
Technique: I assume a normally taken photo with a dramatic PP in NIK? There is also some kind of special border used.
Suggestions: not sure

Overall it looks more like an expression rather than an impression of reality to me. Probably due to the dramatic texture effect.

This picture is beautiful. The lighting is perfect in this photo, no doubt about it. Also, I like the fact that you can see the glistening water wrippling and the plants around the water blowing. This photo makes you feel like you are actually standing right there watching the sun, feeling the wind, enjoying nature, and feeling free.

Comment by MargaretNet:
First impressions: calm, relaxing, smooooth
Technique: I assume PP with a lot of smoothing? (I don't use Topaz so I don't know how it was achieved; in Lightroom I would go negative on Clarity but that's probably too simplistic?)
Suggestions: I would try a tighter crop losing the boats and the large house on the right (there is nothing wrong with a square photo! :)

Overall I thought it was a good example of a photo in a style of an impressionistic painting.

(How am I doing with this commenting business?? Is this OK?)
