This is just magnificant. THe colors, depth of feld and composition are wow. I think you should re-title this photo to whaterver the name of the ocean bay or cove this is in because the lighthouse is just a part of what catches my eye. IT is poster stuff. Fantastic job. #3280426

John Connolly 9/8/2006 3:33:41 PM

OUTSTANDING image! #3305714

Donald R. Curry 9/13/2006 7:41:57 PM

This is a beautiful image, although I do agree that the sky seems a little over manipulated. That is really a matter of taste. This may also be extremely picky, please don't take offence. There appears to be a bright line showing where possibly the sky was isolated for processing. It especially shows on the right side of the lighthouse. If this is the case, a little more feathering might make this less noticeable. This is very minor. I only noticed it because I have had problems with this same issue. #3306355

Paul Sikora 9/14/2006 2:14:51 AM

JOHN #3417413

Charles Haire 10/6/2006 9:23:02 PM

Sky appears to be unnatural, plus over sharpening. Pixels jump out. Pay attension to the two thirds rule. #3417491

Ahab Abdel-Aziz 10/8/2006 10:32:40 AM

nice placement of the
rocks in the foreground
and I very much like
the colour saturation
in the greens and browns
couple of thoughts for
your consideration:
adding a channels
adjustment layer can allow
you to manipulate the colours
independently in the RGB range
might give you a better colour
balance between sky and foreground
(an ND Grad filter on site might also
help you get the saturation in the
foreground without having to work
hard at bringing the sky back)

i also wonder how cropping
1/4-1/3 off the left side
might look to your eyes
