Anglesey follow-on - pick a favourite lighthouse shot

[simonkit]

Following on from my previous post I thought it might be interesting to post several of the lighthouse photos I shot during the "session" & I ask for preference & the reason why. Appreciate all the feedback I can get !!

thanks

I can't choose between 1 and 3. I'd really like it if you could have the size of wave from 1 and the composition from 3. I quite like the last one too but find my eye is pulled to both sides of the picture and not to one specific focal point.

I like 1 and 3....

 

[DiddyDave]

Last one easy - others are simply wrong!

The second and last for me. No 2 is the only one where the lighthouse really catches my attention. I like the angle it was taken from. I like the way the sea is crashing on the rocks in the last one and the lightouse in the distance works for me.

1 and 3 of the solo lighthouse shots but the last one for me is the winner

1, the crashing waves do not intefere with the light house.

Totally agree with DiddyDave
Last one for me as well

You see lighthouse, I see Canon L lens stuck out of the water !

Thanks all for the very helpful comments, always important to get others opinions I think - it's the great thing about these forums !!

My own personal preference is the 1st & last

I also like the first and last of your set, with probably he last just shading it.

1 & 3 for me
dont know if it me but they look almost 3D to me :shrug:
Nice shots anyway

first and especially the last for me, i really like the exposure of the sky and i would be tempted to crop just above the first rock to emphasize that. Either way thats a nice set of pictures

 

[simonkit]

Thanks again for the comments/feedback.

Ben - see you're lucky enough to live closeby. I had a look at the crop but I think the shot loses too much. As it is I think the 2 rocks work as a "lead-in" for the lighthouse, without the r/hand one this is lost.

I like 1,3 and 4. They seem soft to me, possible its the resizing method?

Agree about the second (not sure about the last one). The second one really does just seem to grab. No idea why.
