Re: Lighthouse

Like the sunset colours of the second shot

Nice cloud formations in the first but i think there is perhaps too much expanse of sky, bearing in mind your title, as the lighthouse does get a bit lost and would look better framed more off centre

Re: Lighthouse

Fozzy, good efforts for your first landscapes. Stan is right; I would suggest cropping off the left and top to put the lighthouse a third of the way across and a third up.
Lovely colour on the second.

Re: Lighthouse

I would also concur with what Stan & Alex stated.

Re: Lighthouse

The Second lighthouse image is much better.

Re: Lighthouse

Always like a lighthouse. Which one was this?

Composition is so much better

Re: Lighthouse

Well Fozzy, I think it is much better. Your eye goes straight to the lighthouse, and then moves right to the more interesting hills behind. In your first edit my eye hunted around to find the lighthouse, and then got stuck in the middle, caught between left and right. Hope that makes some sort of sense.
Most importantly, though, which do you prefer?

Re: Lighthouse

Yes, the second image is a much stronger image.

Hi MX5, not sure, but it is between Tobermory and Oban.

Hi Alex, looking at the two of them now the second looks so much better, for the reasons you stated in your post. Thank you.
