Dear John,

What a pleasure to see you back with one of your very fine photographs.

As you have said many times before light is everything in photography, and here you have taken full advantage of a wonderful day.

The composition is excellent, the sweeping line of the edge of the quay takes the eye smoothly towards the little lighthouse, and the diagonals of the steps, the ladders and the quay wall reinforce this strongly.

The sunlight strikes the scene from the side and makes the roundness of the tower stand out. The shadows show good detail. Wonderful reflection in the puddle too.

What a good contrast for the blue sky the warm colour of the local stone makes.

Superb!

Kind regards,

Peter.

Hi John, not seen you for a while, but been worth waiting for.

This is a classic wonderful detail and the composition is perfect.

Have visited the East Neuk a number of times and it never disappoints.

Hi John,a good picture and keen composition,it leading to the centre bbut the tower is nicely out of it,the cloudy sky and the faraway background are giving it power.
