Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Hi Wes and welcome back... Glad to see you went out of your way to bring us this photo because it is simply beautiful. I think I caught onto your idea with the coloring with my original comment on this photo. You did an excellent job of capturing some by-gone era with the coloring. The weather was also beautiful for enhancing this theme. The grey sky works nicely with the bare trees that are just starting to bud with spring in the northern part of the US.
I think this photo is underrated. I don't know why it didn't score a lot higher. I actually think that the 'cheeze' factor of most postcards is quite stereotypical and the aggregate vote on the site probably is used to seeing things that way.
Excellent work... I wouldn't change a thing about it...
Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more...
John Setzler

| Nice shot and effect -- for some reason this image reminded me of the movie the Ring :-) |

| I think I would have liked to see this lighthouse against a different coloured sky. Maybe if it were a sunnier day, rather than overcast, or even a sunrise or something, just to add more colour to it. The brightness of the sky has the effect of making everything not white seem very dark and colourless. |

| Good old looking photograph. It really does have that '50s feel to it with the black and white/sepia look to it. It doesn't really seem like one o the other definitely. Nice balance to this photo with the framing but I think I'd like to see all of the building under the lighthouse. Good pic despite. |

| Great composition. The slightly washed-out effect makes it seem old. |

| I think the sepia tone works great here as do the trees. I like the touch of red as well. Very unusual looking lighthouse. |

| Very interesting landmark. The trees in front of the lighthouse really take away from the shot. Aside from taking a chainsaw to the trees, maybe look at using the branches to frame the lighthouse. Jacko. |

| I like the old-fashioned feeling you are creating with your postcard especially with the nostalgic kind of writing. The colors you have brought out also convey to me a sense of the past. Very good! |

| Not a lot of contrasts here--it all seems the same tone throughout. But the composition is excellent, and I love how the trees frame the lighthouse. |

| excellent shot... I love postcard scenes that don't have the strong 'cheezy touristy' factor to them. The subdued color on this one nicely enhances the 'old' theme... excellent work :) - setzler |

| Text is a little hard to read. Overall picture would have been better with a blue sky or being that it is Michigan should i say a sky that is not so white... Good job. |

| I don't get if the photo was taken in 1949 or the lighthouse was built then. I really like the mood it sets, and the red at the top coordinating visually with the red at the bottom. The muted colors work well for this image. |

| Nice perspective, B%W would have done better here considering the lighting. |
