You really need to watch where you buy your mushrooms... But it does have a lot more interest to it than the original. Kinda nifty.

I havent really gone through your portfolio thouroughly before as i'm not a huge landscape fan and I was amazed by this photo during the challenge but I also just found your photos "Gretchen, Mark, Rosie Jack — 3 Generations in Sunset Light" and "Happy Winner". All three of these are beautiful. I know landscape and floral are your confort zones but I REALLY love your portrait work. I hope to see more of it in the future. :)

The left antenna may have .25 angle to it but the lighthouse itself, going by the sides of the window housing looks perfectly straight to me. I like the pverall effect of the vignetting. I also like that your exposure keeps detail showing in the moon and still allows the shadowing around the shape of the lighthouse.

I think the composition works and it a very nice photo. I do agree on a slight rotation. I wouldn't want the moon any closer to the light house because the separation shows me two beacons of light. One man made and one natural both of which a sailor can navigate by.
Just my 2 cents.
Great Job Robert!

I like it. Maybe a slight rotate to straighten the lighthouse.

Comment by strangeghost:
Two suggestions: try to bump the exposure for the moon down a bit. Probably very difficult under the light you've got since any less would woefully underexpose the lighthouse. (but hey, work your RAW magic Robert!). Second, pop your 70-200 on and get a larger moon and a tighter comp with the lighthouse. The photo will increase in appeal as the angular size of the moon increases.

My kind of shot!

the amount of details and colour is amazing, keeping my eyes busy in a good way. I also liked the distortion, it makes the photo appear more interesting at first glance.

And oh, congrats on the 5th placement!
