You are certainly working some magic my friend. This is another great shot from this teriffic location. The foreboding sky and the texture in the rocks just pull the eye right in to the pool, and with the lighthouse in a golden position it just makes for a perfect comp. Regards, TW

Could I not like it,Lukasz?:)
As I saw it, I copied it to my "study" folder, opened it up in photoshop and dissected it to find "the secret of fire".
Well,I can see what camera and lens sit behind the photo but I wanted to find out more about the photographer and his secrets.
What I noticed is that you did not blown out any highlights or plugged in any shadows,not even one point,but I don`t think that this is the secret.
The midtones have a huge bump,which can be achieved using a "Soft Light" blending mode,or even "Overlay",but I`m not sure if you did this or not.
Did you work a lot on this photo or was the raw file that good and it only needed some minor tweaks?
How was it possible to get this clarity?
Thanks a lot,
Nelu

Very beautiful light in your own typical style.
I like this wide angle view, withthe patterns of light on the rocks in foreground
I like this more than the previous one, in which the green of the algae looked a bit too oversaturated.
Here colors are very real.

Hello Lukasz,
Wow, you can see the amount of work you put into this shot, because it's not obvious. For me the best PP is when the shot is enhanced but still natural looking. You have very fine PP skills, not forgetting wonderful composition, shot choice and POV.
Congratulations, stunning result
cheers

Hi Lukasz,

Nice to see how two photographs of the same lighthouse can be so entirely different! This one is very pleasant as well. Nice how the light hits the rocks in the foreground. You were lucky with that little bit of blue sky in the distance, since otherwise the compo would have been a bit top heavy. But it all comes together here. Nice!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hello Lukasz!
Just a wonderful picture!
Great colors, sharpness and POV!
I love specially the rocks in the foreground, creating a round "pool" with the water of the sea, the impressive and threatening sky and, of course, the shape and colors of the lighthouse!
TFS - Congratulations!

Hi Lukasz,
I was there on Sunday. Too late for good light though.
This is lovely. Good POV, great light and dramatic sky.
I would correct the distortion in the lighthouse caused by the wide angle lens somewhat.
Thanks for sharing,
Hauke

Hi Lukasz, this one is really nice! The colors and light are just perfect. Some TE's can tell you that they didn't like distortion of ultra wide lens but for me this is normal and is not a problem. Excellent photo job and great place!

TFS and regards,

Hi Lukasz,
The shot has the effects of painting.
No doubt the results of Canon in terms of the colours are superb, and even better than other cameras, but o achieve absolue calrity.................
The pespective draws my eyes to the far end of Woxford.

Bonsoir,
belle photo de ce phare superbe sur ces rocher non moins superbes.
Ces rochers a fleur d' eau nous donne envie de s' y promener les pieds dans l' eau.
Ces nuages menaçant qui arrivent nous en dissuadent.
