Simply beautiful work. I like the colors and the detail in the water and rocks. I love the way the lighthouse reflection pierces the rocks. Superb!

Such a great photo!
Everything great about it but I think the frame is to big. It gives to little space for such a photo!
Anyway, TFS

Hi Dean, never may that happen! Love sunsets and sunrises forever! I could've kicked myself the other night for not having a camera with me as we had a very unique sunset, however, where I live was dreary and dark, but I went up the freeway to a meeting about 15 miles and WOW, there it was! Good compo.

Hi Dean,
It is a stunning photo. The composition and the colours are great. IMO the frame is too large and distracts the viewer from this great photo. I would have used a smaller frame, but that is just my personal opinion. It is a great image.

Its a wonderful photo, but I think you applied too much sharpening. Buy I like the colours and the elegant touch of the script letters with the title.

Hi Dean!
This is an amazing shot, magnificient view and composition. I'm also an addict to morning shot. I have no doubt, this one is my favorite shot.

Btw, I'd like to ask about Sigma 10-20mm; I have same reflex as you do and I'm planning to buy another lens before my trip to Asia. For now on, I read a few reviews and critics about this lens and Canon 10-22 mm. I'd like to know your comments about this lens that you own. Does it give a really crisp and sharp image enough?


Stunning work my friend,
Quang

Dean, this is a good shot. The composition is there. The foreground balances well with the placement of the lighthouse and the diffuse morning sun. I like the broken reflection of the tower too. The black frame does compliment the picture but I think your picture deserves more space so I personally would reduce the thickness of the frame.

I like the calmness but warm colors of this image in a black background. Rule of Thirds is well applied in the horizon. Your way of framing is the one I like. :)
