Alan--Wonderful Image--Great use of the Rule of thirds, Textures, Colours, Lighting , Emotive and Composition. Excellent Capture

Thank you kindly, Doug. I keep being drawn back to this lighthouse (only a few miles from where I live) to photograph it in different weather conditions. the old man and his dog were an added bonus!

PRO+

Great capture. I can feel the chill in the air!

I'm sure this old fellow did too - the wind off the Irish Sea was bitter cold. I could only hold my camera for a few minutes before I had to put my gloves back on! Thanks for your comment, Leslie.

Really great capture!!!

Thanks a lot, Jess.

This is a fantastic scene - the depth and the light really capture the weather! I love the way the eye travels back from the rocks to the figure, the lighthouse and the far shore. Really excellent!

Thank you, Suz. By using my 70-300mm zoom lens I was able to compress the distance from front to back (in reality about a mile) and keep everything in focus.
