Bandon Lighthouse at Sunset
It seems like forever since I had something to post here. This is a photograph I took on a recent vacation this last June. I really like it, and it is perhaps the best of the whole trip. It was another one of those moments when I was going to pack it in, but decided to wait a little longer to see if some color appeared.

When I jumped out to shoot this I had to do a little searching to find just the right height to avoid merges. I also had to shoot this several times between small waves coming through the pilings to keep a smooth look.

This is one I had printed fairly large and it looks really good on the wall.

Thank you for any C&C you might wish to offer.

Nice flow to the photo for me. Darks and light and colors. Nice job on keeping the pilings from merging with the rocks. I even like the little bit of color on the lighthouse.

This is one of the best and most artistic shots of the Coquille River Lighthouse for my taste. The placement of the piers and rocks is sweet.

Beautifully done. All of the elements work well together. The timing and effort that went into the composition are apparent. Great image.

Awesome Ned. I love the triple silhouette- wood/rocks/lighthouse with nice warm color to back it up. Well done.
