Hi Niek

A good choice of the vertical format on the lighthouse, with a wonderful blue sky & superb color, sharpness & lighting. Well composed also. Tfs!

I would have cropped this square. The shape of the lighthouse is almost perfect for that.
Or... I would have added more sky and less "green"...
In a funny way I think the greens in the foreground don't add anything special to the image. Sky however is so perfectly blue that it's almost screeming to be in the image... kind of like in the one you posted yesterday.

But.... I think that things like this are mostly always a matter of personal taste.
About your technique of photography there is no bad critique to give.

Cheers,
Anneke

I liked the composition of your last lighthouse shot but this looks great too.
Harsh conrast of light and shadow on the rocks but the whole thing looks overall well exposed.. Nice colour sky from the CP.

Cheers

Hi Niek,
Its funny how everybody likes lighthouses. I like the composition with all the detail in the FG plus a pleasant blue gradient in the sky. The man silhouetted at the door creates a real focal point.
cheers

Hi Niek,

I thought this lighthouse looked familiar. I've not been that close to it before though. I have painted it several times from across the way. I even posted a shot of it once. Coastal Guardian Yours is a nice sharp image and perfectly exposed throughout. They were renovating the lighthouse when we were there. I'm not sure I like the red... but that is tradition I suppose. The weather can be quite spectacular there in Bandon with great clouds and light etc. It can also be pretty miserable and windy. You did manage to experience a lot of clear blue skies while visiting "rainy Oregon".

TFS

Hi Niek,
I do like the composition here, a tighter crop would trow away a lot of the balance in this composition. The greens on the foreground are not disturbing at all, so I disagree with Anneke (she doesn't mind :-) The silhouette of the man inside the lighthouse is a nice detail!

Excellent light house photo here with the human figure in the doorway being icing on the cake. I love the FG to BG sharpness and the exposure seems spot on without any blown highlights. Thank you for this awesome picture.

cheers,
