Took this one a couple of days ago at Portland in Dorset.
What gorgeous weather at last :smile:


All comments always welcome and appreciated.

A bit tight and crowded for me personally - I would have preferred a bit more separation of all the elements, but still a cracking photo

Interesting composition of two relating subjects, I like portland especially for Titanticus giganticus (I think this is the name for the great big amonites they have there).
Quality pic.

Would make a good post card and sums the place up nicely-sharp front to back and nice bold colours :toast:

Hi Justin
a very nice postcard shot though the boat is a bit overpowering for me.

Great use of the boat as a perspective with the lighthouse. :biggrin:

Makes the lighthouse look like a model. The colours are superb and it would definately make a good postcard to sell at the LobsterPot.

Hi Justin

I like the composition, the boat is very dominant but it works well, I like the colours and front to back sharpness.

Yep, wonderful sharpness is the first thing that hit me - definately be good as a postcard!

Fine shot Justin - the techs are spot on. The image has a real holiday feel to it. For me the boat is a little bit overpowering.

Thanks folks for the comments,appreciated as always.

Apologies to the 'mods' if this breaks the posting rules.
I recieved a couple of comments over in the Man and Nature forum that this doesn't contain much in the way of nature.I hadn't realised
:eek:

Having been around for the last 6+ years I thought I may have gotten used to the Posting Guidelines :rolleyes: :wink: obviously not :rolleyes:

I guess a graet white fishing boat and a red and white lighthouse definately doesn't constitute LIMITED evidence of 'hand of many'. Oops!! :eek:
