Beautiful!!! How do you get the effect of a painting rather than a photo?

Dave - To find lighthouses on the the main page of UHH under where the title Ugly Hedgehog-- Photography Forum is a list of words I hit search entered lighthouses and all kind of lighthouse photos come up.

I think the painting effect is caused partially by a small amount of blur caused by camera movement and cheaper glass at 1000mm zoom on my nikon coolpix p510. I was along way away from the lighthouse and without a tripod I have a really hard time holding still when the lens is extended. Other than that I'm not sure. I have some painting software but did not use it on this photo.

Great shot. My wife & I are lighthouse junkies too. Back in the day when we could afford to take vacations, they were pretty much built around lighthouses.

Usually I'm a 'Pop' man, Spikes, but your lovely soft tones and textures here invite long tranquil contemplation. Congrats!

I usually like more pop too but really liked the softness. Thanks for the kind words.
