Good job! Try cropping out the sky and see if you like the result; it adds to the image by subtracting unnecessary elements.

Wow!
A novel and powerful lighthouse image! A really unusual perspective that shows the coastline hazard of which the lighthouse warns the sailor!
The sea's quiet demeanor belies its severe erosive abilities revealed by that cliff precipice carved by it from the headland in its more violent moods.
Composition is immediate and strong! Like a brick!
Technically excellent!

A really wonderful image, Dave!

I kind of like having that hint of sky and cloud in the image because ,to my mind, it adds a sense of context to the scene.
Well done! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Dave, I love the perspective of this lighthouse image. It gives a sense of the enviroment. I find myself wondering about lighthouse operators on stormy nights gone by. It must have been exciting and scary to be right down there on the ocean. I'm surprised that the lighthouse was not built up on the rock that you're photographing from. The image is sharp, well composed, and I love that red against the blues.

The original lighthouse, built in 1832, was on top of the cliffs but the cliffs being of soft chalk are rapidly eroding and the old light was getting dangerously close to the edge. To build a new light further back from the edge wasn't practical as the ground slopes down from the edge and the lighthouse would have had to be very tall to been seen from out at sea., so they built it at the bottom of the cliff, it was finished in 1902.

Not like Split Rock lighthouse where they had to dynamite the hard rock cliff for the foundations. Interesting, Graham. Thanks.
