Poor lighthouse...

[Rui Lopes]

Built at the extreme spot of a jetty, buffeted by the ocean every day....

Excellent image!

I like the framing of the second image...but the spray in the first image makes the shot!

On the first image, perhaps on the left you could clone out the tops of the 2 cables or whatever they are.... Then it would be perfect! Next print it big!!!!!

Thank you, Karen. Good point! I don´t know what those "things" are, either...I´ll clone it later. Thanks.

Spectacular!

That is what the light house was built for. I don't think she/he would want it any other way. At least that's the way I like to think about it.

Great shots!

Truly a stunning image! So well done!

A little more contrast or a touch of Topaz Adjust or Color Efex Pro would really make it pop.

Thank you James.

Inmy opinion, lighthouses are built to safely guide sailors home to land...:wink: but they often are the first line of defence from the waves, that´s true.

Great shots!

Thank you Alex.

I am not a lover of Topaz. However, I added a bit of tonal contrast from NIK filters...
Thanks Karen

Thank you, Steven. It is a personal favorite spot, specially during Winter, exactly because of the dramatism of the waves hitting the jetty over and over...

...though sometimes I come back home a little wet...:biggrin:
Thanks for your comment.

Beautiful scenery of the forces of Nature vs Man!
Looks very good indeed, Rui!

BTW: did you clean your equipment afterwards? I'm always a bit afraid the salt will eat into all parts of the body and lenses...

Excellent shots and pp!

Nice catch, I do find it interesting that there is little contrast between the water and the sky.

What a marvelous subject and you have captured it so well! I can imagine a whole series of images with differing lighting and weather conditions – a visual soliloquy.
