I like this composition it emits a mystic appeal. The mirrored reflection of the lighthouse in the water leading past the lighthouse to the moon on a foggy, dank, dark evening. I like your perspective of the trees leading away into the background also. Lots of interest for me in this. Great job!

I really like this. It looks like something I might have painted. The mood is terrific and the effect you have created leaves a lot to the imagination and makes the mind work.

This is really an enjoyable piece of art. It looks like there should be a fantasy story with it. I have never seen a lighthouse look like this but why not. It is very beautiful.

Excellent composition with a very mysterious looking haze to it. Nice balance, wonderful vocal point and I love how you did the moon. Excellent work.

Very nice, looks just like an oil painting! I like the effect you got with the mist, however this looks less like a lighthouse, and more like part of an old castle surrounded by a moat in my opinion.

    Thank you, Mike! PS...don't let your opinion waiver, because that's exactly how I designed it...to look like a castle. Being a Pisces, I think I live half in reality and half in a fantasy world :) Thanks again for the excellent review.

What a very mistique image here! I love it. Has a lot of drama attached to it. Great use of the digital artwork for this. You have presented it well and the use of the PSP has worked well for u!

I really like the way you have the lighthouse coming out of the fog. You have to look to see it. The coloring and the way you did this are excellent. A beautiful work of art. Nice detail in the trees too and the reflection in the water.

Very misterious. . It invites you to imagine stories. The light, the fog and this strange tower in the middle of nature are a very nice combination. I like it.

Comment from ZenTrip


Superb. I'm always trying for fog shots. They impart such emotional tugs of a mysterious world - a shadowed existence that always attracts me.

This abandoned lighthouse captures a ethereal beauty that could be better enhanced.

Please tell me a little of how you did this if you have time.

Just exquisite.

Thanks so much.

I like the moody atmosphere of this picture. The watery moon trying to break through the fog is very effective and the whole impression is of gloom and desolation. In real terms, of course, the lighthouse would not be so close to the trees, but, hey, this is a fantasy image. Well done. Michael

    Thank you, Michael! Yes, it would probably be out on a jetty, on a cliff, etc. Which wouldn't be too hard to do if I push the trees back a little, make the cliff with the water below. I'll have to experiment with that idea. Again, thank you.
