Lady In The Lighthouse Puddle Photo

Photographer’s Note

Not quite an encore because the last puddle image I posted had a man in it. It was so crowded I could not get any people-less images so I got an picture I normally would not have taken.
Pemaquid Point Light sits on hill above the rock ledges that will fill with sea water after a good size storm.

Hello Tom,
You just can't get away from the pesky tourists ;-) A great image with crisp clear tones.

Hi Tom

Nice, but why don't you let this picture in the original sense.

The rock makes a perfect frame for the reflection and the jagged edges kind of point into the 'picture'. Of course it was the right idea to turn the image upside down.

Hello Tom,
Very nice how you framed the reflection of the lighthouse in this puddle. The colours are very beautiful and the photo has an excellent sharpness.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Tom,
I was more lucky than you to be able to take a view of the Pemaquid lighthouse without the crowds. It has been posted earlier and you have seen it I believe.
You focused on the splendid reflection in the puddle, a well taken view.
Regards,
Paul

I just can't believe that blue - even in the puddle. Marvelous clear colors, totally amazing reflection and incredible detail. I love the different colored stripes in the rocks and they way they frame the shot. That's a beauty! Many thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

Wow, this image is quite striking. I love the textural and color contrasts. There is so much to look at the photo could be busy, but you've created a perfect focal point to quiet the mind. A very thoughtful picture. Thank you!

Hi, Tom.
Pemaquid Point Light... a location that proves once again very friendly to your camera. This is another excellent presentation : intriguing as always, colorful, eye-catching. Have a great weekend, y'all. Give them critters of yours a hug from me & Freddie. See ya soon,
F.

Hello Tom! You got really carried away when you did your little puddle session :))) but you can bring them all, they are different and original. The stone itself is already an eye catcher. It is nice to get carried away, we do that not often enough and it is so much fun. Was it really a man last time :))) Just kidding ... Happy Saturday, Barbara.

Dyerco (9318) 2009-02-28 8:20

Great shot Tom. Very unique in its presentation. The rock makes an excellent frame.
Well done indeed.

parbo (11038) 2009-02-28 11:19

Hello Tom,

This is splendid one especially with texture of rock surface that makes your frame impressive one. You timing is excellent for adding a live model to the reflection of lighthouse on puddle. Great clarity and focus. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.

Friendly Regards,

PS. Thanks for your wishes. I got my Yellow Fever Vaccine certificate yesterday and will go soon. Take care, friendly.

i always love the reflections in puddles.. and when it rains i walk by looking on the ground to see clear and intersting reflections.. but i've failed till now:) anyway, you had seen this reflection well here, and i think the ground is like rock and it makes the composition more impressive..
Have a nice week Tom,

Longroute (9893) 2009-03-01 12:08

Back to summer vacances, eh?
This composition is unique. To find such a puddle admist the rocks and at the right distance from a lovely lighthouse, it's not an everyday occurrence! And the way you were able to compose it is really great. Sharp, clear and with beautiful colours - really well done,
Donato

I would say Tom that flipping the photo over has made the greatest impact here. Very interesting shot!

skippy007 (7361) 2009-03-03 23:58

Hello Tom, This one has come together really well, not only is the subject interesting but so are the rocks surrounding the puddle, nice blue sky adds colour & contrast & the human maybe not important but I think it is a good addition.
Well done.
Cheers
Santo
