Olympus OMD EM5
12-50 lens at 12mm
ISO200
1/250 at f13 (should probably have been f8 or so)
Processed in LR5, converted to monochrome in Perfect Effects
light at Port Clyde ME
Since the day was so bright and I had to catch boat at noon & couldn't wait for better light, I tried to embrace the contrast and make the shadows part of the composition.

I like it! Maybe crop-out 2/3 of sky above peak.
This image quality reminds me of a wrap-around book cover.

I really like! But, I would clone out the cloud to the right of the lighthouse and crop the bottom, if possible, to have the hand rails running equally into the bottom corners of the image.

lighthouse
Loc: No Fixed Abode
I like it.
Love the leading lines coming in evenly from the corner.
I would only change 2 very minor things.
I would like to see it framed the same but on a day without shadows.
And I would lens correct the image to take the curve out of the horizon.
Nice subject for long exposure work at high tide. Maybe after the sun has gone down.

I like it! Shadows and all. I have to agree with the suggestion to clone out the little cloud, it is so small it looks more like smudge.
I think photographed on a cloudy day would give a very different photo. I think the shadows on this day add to the image. I also like that you have brought the shadows out by using black and white.

Would you consider a vertical crop? Keep the height of the photo and center the lighthouse. It changes everything!

It's hugely interesting to me and I prefer it with the shadows on the walkway even if I haven't seen it any other way :)

I love this shot. I think the lighting puts character in the photo. I like the shadows. I agree though, with cloning out that little cloud to the right of the lighthouse.

Lighthouse - that's not fair. Except for your horizon idea maybe. There was no time to do what you suggest otherwise so the photo's what it is. And well done at that.
minniev - the lighthouse seems to me to lean to the right. Your camera was probably a tiny bit out of level. That could be fixed by doing a 'free rotate' anticlockwise of the whole photo. In CS5 thats: Image -> Image Rotation -> cc (that stands for anticlockwise!). But it wont be hard to find in other editors.
When you do that you may find the corners reduce the photo if you have to crop for that. But in order to avoid that Ive filled corners in by cloning into them from close by. Then either no cropping or at least a lot less. But I reckon thatd work for you.

I really like the shot. You've taken unfavorable lighting conditions and turned them into a plus.
I think you could crop some of the sky to raise your horizon line a little more, but that's not a killer.
You might considered boosting the contrast a little more to darken the shadows some.
Like the double vanishing point line.
Keep up the good work, minniev. :thumbup:

Monochrome and the strong lighting and shadows added quite dramatically to the image. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Huh. I thought it was on "Gump Hill" in Monument Valley. I have one of my son there and was looking for another take on it.
