Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
A super seascape. The light is especially good. One can almost smell the salt air.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Boy, does that ever add interest to an already great seascape. Wonderful picture Alun.

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
Very beautiful pic… I like these gray colors, and this photographer at the edge of water… "trapped" by another photographer.

Cheryl from Texas, United States
beautiful compositon! The human element adds so much to this, nice work!
29 May 2008 11:38am
@Cheryl: Thank you Cheryl
Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
The compression here makes that guy look at risk from the sea . . the height of that doorway into the lighthouse is a good guide to high tide, I guess!

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks Ronnie
vu@granby - Wolfgang from Granby, Québec, Canada

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
I often see seashore pictures on Aminus3, and I find them romantic, well done etc. But in this one I recognize my own seashore experiences: salty, windy, moist in the air, freshness, and also the dark clouds and the bright light. Putting a photographer in the scene completes the feeling of "ownership" of the impression. Delicious! Thanks for this wonderful capture!

@Illuci: Thank you Illuci for your very kind comment :)
Sandrine from Cincinnati, United States
Great shot! Nice composition and capture! :)

29 May 2008 3:21pm

29 May 2008 3:32pm
@DaveB: Thanks Dave
Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

bruno from les Ollières, France
Want to be this photographer on the beach. Very nice shot !

Guillermina from Buenos Aires, Argentina
If you hadn't said he was a photographer, I would have thought he was an executioner... Or maybe he was indeed an executioner, since we don't get to see the camera ;)
There are great diagonals here, like the strip of foam running almost paralell to the imaginary line between the man and the lighthouse... Gorgeous.
29 May 2008 7:21pm
@Guillermina: Thanks very much :)
Ted from South Wales, United Kingdom
Wow..great shot! Where was this taken exactly? ( I have a thing about lighthouses...see http://www.pbase.com/teddy_s/nash_point_glamorgan)

standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France
Superb composition. The lighting is exceptional!
29 May 2008 8:52pm
@Mike: Thanks for your comment mate, and thanks for the info, Cheers :)
Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States
Great shot! With the stormy seas & sky, it makes total sense that the lighthouse seems partially submerged :)
29 May 2008 11:37pm
@Ken McCoy: thanks Ken

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Ooo! I'm partial to shot's of lighthouses, this one is fantastic Alun. The light is beautiful it really makes the structure stand out against the dark sky.

danthro from Suburbia, United States

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
I like your photo Alun, but I'd like it even more if the horizon was level. (The old sailor in me feels the list.) *smile*
30 May 2008 1:12am
@Judy: Thanks for your comment. I have just been on photoshop with this image and the horizon looks not bad to me, If you have a close look and draw a straight line across the water. My be you have had to much Rum ha ha ;)
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
A wonderful shot. Having the photographer in the frame adds an interesting element to an already terrific photo.
30 May 2008 1:16am
@Michael Rawluk: Thank you Michael
Pied Crow from Nairobi, Kenya
I like this photo a lot, but with the muted colors, it is an example of one where the watermark is a bit distracting.
30 May 2008 4:12am
@Pied Crow: Never mind
Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Now that's a lighthouse. It's not one of those poofy jobs up on a hill somewhere.
