I'm a Lighthouse fan, love it! A little distance, Myself would have moved in closer for detail, little much of the sandy area as well would have been fine if it was on an Island or something like that, try cropping about 1/3rd of the sand bank out and over to where the rocks start to climb on the left side and see what happens... It's a lighthouse, so I favor this one!!!

The fist one is really good as well, I think I wouldn't have centered it. I would have moved more the the right putting the subject more to the left (rule of thirds) but that's only because of the tree limb, it's kind'of distracting. Great color though for a night shot...

The second one is beautiful with the vivid colors, I like how you divided it using the water and sand! Nice and crisp shot...

Great shots!!! Hope to see more from you!

Welcome and nice shots. I would have gotten rid of the lights in the left hand corner of the first shot, but a very nice night shot.

I hope you don't mind me editing the Lighthouse. Let me know what you think...

I used PS Light Room for all editing for this particular photograph. If I had of been the photographer who took it, there is more I would have done to it but this is your work and I am just adding my thoughts of how it could look. Thanks!

I like the original more than the edit version, he lost the wider range of color tones in the sky, and the crop is a little to tight for landscape presentation for me... IMO...

Very nice work...

I keep being amazed, delighted and more than a little daunted at the quality of the work this group routinely turns out! Those are wonderful, all of them. Really! Sort of puts me in my place. One is never too old for a good bit of humility!

I kind of like the original. The sky is much more interesting, though the two make an interesting sequence.
