Seagull flying past a lighthouse, England

What I love most about this capture are the beautiful, peaceful colors of sky, reflected on the light house, sea, grass and sand. With or without the seagull, it is a lovely picture.

Ah! This is truly gorgeous. Everything is so clear, like a painting sectioned or blocked in color in the fore- and middle grounds. The sky is almost breathtaking. The seagull is so plain.

Your photo shows excellent focus with beautiful details throughout. I especially like the layers of the foreground that give the lighthouse and setting sun such great highlight. A well composed shot!

I absolutely love the colours in this photo, they give the composition such a dreamy feel! The positioning of the lighthouse and the seagull are perfect, being slightly offset and the detail in the foreground adds a lot of depth. Wonderful shot!

Nik,
A beautiful picture of the New Brighton Lighthouse, off Wallasey, on Merseyside with s Gull in flight flying overhead towards you. The setting sun shining on the left side of the Lighthouse, reflecting on the puddle in the foreground that also reflects the lighthouse. & adds colour to the passing clouds overhead. The sky's also reflected on the Irish sea & the puddles in the sand in the foreground. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

Great timing to capture the seagull flying by and I love the background skyline with the varying colors making it look like and artwork. Nice lighthouse and the composition is excellent.

think the seagull is almost not needed in this as its the lighthouse is the main focus,good to include the forshore as it gives it a good base to look further into the general view....Brian

What a great seaside capture presented here of this lighthouse. I think the main shot is the lighthouse and the seagull just adds another level of interest. Great shot. well done

I visited Brighton about 35 years ago, but I don't remember this lighthouse; maybe it was another area;
an excellent composition with the seagull;

    Think you did not realise that this location is in the northwest of England not on the south coast.

What a lovely scene! The lighthouse is well placed within the frame just to the left of center, the gull in flight brings life and I like it's position here too.
I love the layers leading to the lighthouse and then the layers in the sky behind it.
This is well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, colors snd tones appear true and natural. Well composed allowing such a good sense of this location, well presented!
