Critique Club:
I like the composition in your picture. The light house is placed just perfectly.

There is white in the picture, there is black in the picture, there is grey in the picture. That is what every black/white picture should have.

The only thing I would like to have changed is to maby have someone walking on the beach. Or you could have walked and made the footsteps more visable. One other thing. At the top of the picture there is a white circle. Lens flair or something. You almost can't see it. Just minor details :)

Overall a good picture.

talk about bad timing...this would have been perfect for the minimalism challenge. as for a free study, this is a tough call. it seems a bit soft, and the bright sun has really taken a toll on the details and textures in the sand. it's highly unfortunate that there was no clouds are drama in the sky. that being the case, you might have considered a composition where the horizon didn't split the image through the middle. oh well, hope this does well for you. good luck!

So simple yet it holds my interest at the same time. I think you have done a fantastic job with the composition.. I might have played with the contrast in PS a little ΓΆ€“ only because the image is a little flat and could possibly have had more pop

Would have been a good subject for the Minimalist Challenge as well.

I like the subject and perspective, although I'd probably have cropped out some of the footprints in the foreground, removing the distraction, getting to a panoramic shape, and getting the horizon off the midline.

too much sand, not enough lighthouse

Great tones and textures, just not sure about your centered horizon.

I know the lighthouse is what you wanted as your main subject yet what I am drawn too is the sand.

Great shot that is minimalistic in a sense to me. The focal point jumps out at you and the composition somhow works. I know it's cliche, but maybe having a child jumping through the shot or something of that matter, in dark clothing, would make the image have some pop to balance out the focal point. Just a suggestion. Good stuff!
