Très jolie ton image.
Un puissant filtre ND avec cette image et tous les nuages disparaissaient. Tu ne regretteras pas un tel achat.

Hello Philippe - Serene blues with silky textures contrast beautifully against the pin sharp lighthouse. A simple and elegant image where the golden light and reflections work perfectly. Best regards rosemary

Hello Philippe!
Wonderful image! Beautiful language of stone divided between sky and sea! Beautiful color rendering with beautiful blue which gives off the light gray of the stone! Impressive the sea calm, almost motionless as the water of a lake! Congratulations!
Best regards, Nino.

Bonsoir Philippe
Une compo épurée avec un cadrage parfait et cette dominante bleue juste perturbée par le jaune de la lumière. L'éclairage sur le phare donne un superbe relieh à la pierre renforcé par la très bonne netteté.

Bonsoir Philippe,
C'est trés beau, la douceur du reflet qui atténue le projecteur, la netteté et l'heure bleue, super.

Salut Philippe,

Une belle ambiance comme je les aime avec un bon equilibre entre la zone dorée et le reste dans les tons bleus.
Le long temps de pose, en lissant la surface de l'eau, donne une impression de calme.

hello Philippe,

Une belle image où la simplicité n'a d'égale que la beauté et la réussite.On ne voit que du bleu et c'est bien ainsi.
Merci d'avoir piqué un phare.
Cordialement.

Hi Philippe,
Very nice picture of this lighthouse in Greece. I like your fine composition with enough space around the lighthouse. Pleasant blue color tones and reflections in the water, well done !
Have a nice day.

Hi Philippe,

I love the melancholic mood of this shot, Beautiful and deep blue and the only golden light is from the light house which is perfect to draw our vision toward it. the smooth texture of the water is really fantastic like frosted glass.

J'aime beaucoup la composition dépouillée et les couleurs de l'heure bleue. Le long temps de pose lisse bien l'image. Difficile d'éviter la légère surex du coup de lumière sur le phare.
Amicalement
JJ

Hello Philippe. A lighthouse with a yellow color, and the sea and the sky intensely blue. The color contrast is perfect for this image. Even the upright format is well chosen. Very well realized. A picture like an exhibition. Rgds wolfgang.

Hi Philippe!

Your gallery is full of impressive images! I liked the serenity in here, the effect of the calm waters are surreal. The yellow llight is a nice contrast amidst the blue tones! Simplicity at its best!

have a great day,
Matt
