Very nice, love the foreground blur and the crispness of the house/lighthouse.

The angle of the shot makes it look like a toy.
09/07/2006 01:44:30 PM
Great angle!
09/07/2006 12:20:36 PM
Like the angle you chose to shoot this from. The grass in the foreground gives a sense of how large the lighthouse actually is.
09/07/2006 09:23:18 AM
Nice shot. Really like the low angle.

first thought as it was loading 'Its a Rocket' L()L. Nice image nice colours. Maybe offcenter the tower more.
09/05/2006 11:04:49 PM
Love your angle and perspective on this one.
09/05/2006 05:16:11 PM
Very nice with the low angle and the inclusion of the grasses. Very nice color tones as well. I wonder if a less centered composition might of been more dynamic.

Now, is that a model or is it real life? Or is the house a model and the lighthouse real? It's an interesting photo.

Colors are bold and vibrant in this photo! The B&W stripes on the lighthouse really pop visually. Love the angle that you took this shot from. The low to the ground and including the grasses (sea oats?) in the composition really gives us a sense of height on this lighthouse. It springs up from the ground and really dominates the scene. My only critique, and a small one at that, is that the lighthouse seems to be slightly tilted to the right - rotation or changing angle would have made it stand at a full 90 degrees.

Love this shot. Great perspective. Would like to see the lighthouse more in focus at the top.
09/03/2006 07:57:48 PM
Great composition and colors.
09/03/2006 07:05:13 PM
perfectly clear!
09/02/2006 05:54:53 PM
nice lighthouse.I think the grass in the foreground is a nice touch.
09/02/2006 03:47:17 PM
lovely. i almost submitted a ighthouse. glad i didnt this is much better than mine. POV is great. beautiful.
09/02/2006 02:49:16 PM
Good shot, the colours and foreground angle work really well I think.
09/02/2006 11:05:32 AM
beautiful. I think the light house needs to be a tad more to the right of the image. I love how your shooting from the grass lvl. The red of the roof really pops.
09/02/2006 10:14:29 AM
Interesting perspective.
09/01/2006 07:03:56 PM
nice image of Bodie Island Light.
09/01/2006 01:20:50 PM
I love lighthouses and I love this photo. Wonderful angle.
09/01/2006 12:05:05 PM
Pretty, but a bit soft/out of focus at the top.
09/01/2006 11:59:21 AM
Composition: 3 - Its a bit uninteresting - Centered, obscured by grass, and maybe even slighly tilted (tho I can't tell for sure)
Technical: 6 - Nice saturation of the colours and the contrast is good which bright whites and dark blacks.
Creativity: 3 - A different angle and something else in the should could make this look more creative.
Appeal: 4 - It doesn't really hold my interest for very long.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 4

Awesome perspective! This is great. Wouldn't it have been great if there were a few puffy clouds out there in the sky? Nice going. You might try to saturate that blue sky a little more. The bottom half of the photo is perfect. Nice lighting and good DOF.

simple, solid photograph. well exposed, good sharpness. it's just lacking an umph factor. 7.
