Lighthouse Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I have always liked lighthouses. Not only because of their unique architecture, but also due to the importance that they have in the brave sailors life.
This lighthouse is in Sesimbra, a small fishing village that in Summer it's fullfilled with turists.
It's (the lighthouse) not acessible by car, so you need to walk between the Atlantic Ocean and the Sesimbras Port. It's a fascinating walk, due to the fact that you have the company of seagulls and in my case even dolphins. It was superb!!
I removed some light from the original picture, in order to "cut" part of the morning light and to increase the contrast between the lighthouse colors and the blue sky.

Hope you like it.

Fred

Hi Frederico,
this is an interesting POV.
But I think a little bit dark and the colours could be more intensive.
I tried a workshop for you and hope, you like it, please have a look, bye

Olá Fred. Então foste passear para Sesimbra! ;o)) Bom, na minha opinião, sempre que se brinca com linhas ou formas geométricas, é necessário verificar que o todo pareça equilibrado. tens que admitir que o farol aqui parece ser primo da torre de Pizza. está de tal forma a inclinar para a direita que quando eu aí fôr já está completamente na horizontal! Podes fazer um crop para corrigir a perspectiva. Depois tens ali uns pontos no céu que parecem poeira, e claro que a F16 vão aparecer. Com o photoshop podes utilizar o clone tool para eliminar. Fico à espera de ver as próximas! Abraço.
