Almost looking like a painting, this shot is well-composed and very clear in detail without being over-sharpened. Nicely done. ((7))

This very much reminds me of one of those seascape oil-paintings, with the light and texture and the little lighthouse; a really nice interpretation of a common subject.

Little bit dark and flat, but I imagine that's due to time of year this was shot. I love the sweeping coastline leading you to the lighthouse and small village. Nice sense of scale with the person. This is a great spot to keep coming back to over the year. I bet you can get some amazing weather related shots. 8

what a moment you've captured! i think it would even be more foreboding if you had cropped off the top 25% of the image. that would have kept the horizon from splitting the image in half, and it would have made the darkness of the clouds a bit more intense. but hey, that's just my opinion. you have a beautiful image. thanks for sharing, and good luck in the challenge!

Nice simple compotion, a very pleasing image, I like the understated feel, almost makes me feel like I'm on holiday.

If you crop out the top part of the clouds so that only about an inch and a half of the dark clouds are showing I think you will find a better picture. Nice shot tho and nicely leveled. Well done and keep up the good work in 2005.

I'm unsure about this one. You seem to have fallen betweentwo subjects, really: a shot that extends from the foreground to the lighthouse, with the suggestion of the dark sky above it, which would concentrate on the tones on the water and the rocks, and a shot of the dark sky looming over the lighthouse. Placing the lighthouse so central in the vertical leaves my eye switching between the two, without ever finding a place to concentrate. I think you could happily have extended the range of the mid-tones here too - the darkness of the sky isn't threatening, and the water has become almost the same tone throughout: it is those areas that give these shots their impact, and a faster exposure, or processing to bring the levels down in those areas would have given much more drama. You've also cropped out, or framed out, the foreground rocks, which would give your image a far greater sense of depth had you included them. It has real potential, this scene, I think, but it is unrealised.

Nice drama in this picture. I think there would be more impact if you cropped the picture so that the horizon line is about a third of the way up from the bottom of the picture. This will bring more focus to the town and the impending storm and remove the unneccessary empty and distracting water space.

I really like the POV and composition (7)
