Hi Shawn. I like the composition of this. The different elements are arrange nicely. The fog gives it a solemn mood. I feel the fog is just a bit too strong for my taste. But still a very nice job. Thanks for the view!

This is fantastic! The colours and composition are stunning. The detail here is excellent and the lighting wonderful. I especially like the way you have rendered the mist

Comment from Katy


I really like the ominous look of this scene. Beautiful lighthouse reflected so beautifully from the water. The trees line the left side of the image perfectly, adding depth that takes your eye into the background. the moon slightly visible through the fog adds a sense of mystery. GREAT JOB! Katy

Comment from Mike Roberts


This is a very mystical and inspiring image. The lighthouse has a castle type architecture which is cool. Love the way the sun is piercing through the mists, with the lovely, calm, reflective water. Nice indeed!

Mike

There is an eliment of mystery here.
I really like the way the light house sits just out of focus and the trees on the left lead you into the picture.
I would like to have seen a little more detail in the house on the right edge as I think it is a little blacked out.

Comment from Gramelli


Effective representation of early day and the fog. You did a great job on the water and creating a smooth rippling surface. Interesting how this painting only has very few colors in it. Great job.

Comment from Bette Davis


Hi,

It is a wonderful ability to create a misty or foggy climate by using the digital means, i like, also, the way you applied the moon light among it, really so nicely done and the effort behind appears great, like its rarity and the story telling ability, thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for the wonderful review, Paul!! I certainly hope you still mean all those super 6 ratings after I tell you that I didn't shoot this anyplace in particular, this is a digital painting. :) I will consider that a super compliment coming from an expert photographer. Again, thank you.
