Re: Southshields lighthouse
Spectacular light and perfectly composed to make the most of it.

Re: Southshields lighthouse
Lovely composition. If it was mine I would lose much of the sky though. Others will probably disagree but hey ho.Dave

There speaks a judgeOriginally posted by benvendetta View Post
- but I have to agree. Losing the top half or so of the sky would make it even better.

Re: Southshields lighthouse
I'd be even more ruthless, another 10% off the top
, just leave the shafts of light against the dark cloud. I'd take 10% off the bottom as well making it more of a letterbox crop.
It just proves that we all see things differently and long may that continue

Re: Southshields lighthouse
Hi there Alf!
I would say the second is the better, and might even have gone for a square crop with just a little more sky - but we are all different! However it is presented it's a great photo.
Cheers,
Ralph.
PS It must have been quite a big ferry as you are well above the lighthouse - were you off to Scandinavia?Comment
