Hi Paul,
I like this, the relatively slow shutter speed has "softened" the sea nicely and the colours of the lighthouse really stand out against the sky. Great work.
Cheers, John.

Hi Paul,
Impressive motion on the waves! Excellent slow shutter speed.
The lighthouse seems still higher with this vertical composition. Despite the cloudy sky, you captured a beautiful light making vibrant colors. Beautifully done! Annie

hello Paul ,

Superb composition , contrasts and light management with the with tower against the dark grey sky. The rocky shore is providing a foamy texture to the breaking waves with the relatively long exposition.
Well done !

Well done Paul.

Well captured and I like this POV. The exposure is great having captured these waves washing over the boulders.

Hi Paul,

The first thing I thought about when opening this photograph was: "Oh, I need to shave today!". :-) The foamy white of the water just immediately made me think about shaving hahaha.

I like the point of view and I like that you included quite some water in the photograph! The diagonal is pleasant - always works for me. And the off-center placement of the lighthouse. Nice nice nice!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hello Paul, this is a lovely shot which reminds me of holidays spent in this area.
I like the texture of the water in the fg,it contrasts well with the greyish sky.Also I like the rocky triangle which completes the composition nicely.The red of the lighthouse just adds that extra bit of colour.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Paul

Perfect shutter speed to capture some wonderful movement in the water but still blurred enough to create a beautiful effect. Excellent composition as well.

I mainly came on to your page to say congratulations on the article in DSLR User. I was reading it on the train this morning and I loved it. It was entertaining and infomative. Nice work Paul you should try a few more magazine articles.

TFS
