Nice perspective shot. Wish there was more of the building and the surrounding palm trees in the shot. You did a good job of balancing the light, though.

From the Critique Club:

I really love lighthouses! This one looks very cool! I love the perspective that you chose for this one. In shots such as this often the perspective makes the building look wrong. You managed to make this look very natural. I really like the palm tree leaning into the shot. It adds to the drama of the shot. I also think the contrast of the dark doorway and the white of the lighthouse adds to the drama of the shot.

What could make this better? Well the first thing I see that detracts a little from the shot are the palms next to the door. A slightly different camera angle may have been possible to keep all the elements in the shot but removing those trees. I see a possible reshoot in your future! I am really dissapointed that you didn't have a dramatic sky day for this shoot. There are a few clouds in this sky but as is they are almost a distraction. Another reason to revisit!

Why didn't this score better? While this is a cool perspective, it's not all that unique. I think that was the point of the challenge.

I can't wait to see if you have more shots of this local.

Yours
TC

I liked the sky against the stuco. That worked really well for me.

Lovely shot, angle really makes you reach for the sky. The palm tree spoils it for me though, gives the picture a curved feel.
