Hi Alan, Love that you broke the mold with this one. I think the shot is very dramatic! Love the thickness of the clouds, the moonshine and the light glow from the lighthouse. The cliff is pretty awesome too! A beautiful setup with great mixed media touches.
The best 2 cents ever! I enjoyed! A great entry for the BW contest! Good Luck!
:o) Nancy

Thanks Nancy, I greatly appreciate your comments and high rating. I was wondering if you thought it should be a little lightera? It might highlight the cliff a bit more. At any rating thanks for the ultra feel good review!

Hi Allan, I think it's awes9me just the way it is! Love the dramatic look! If ypu want to lighten it I wouldn't make too big a change. That's only my thoughts though! You go by what you feel ! :o)

I love this ! The Black and White moon lit scene establishes kind of an eerie mood.
I love your POV placing the tall cliff on the left with the lighthouse standing high above the sea.
Spot on focus, this image is clear and I like the low key lighting .love the placement of the moon as it shines through the clouds. I like the way the moon shines on the water and illuminates the clouds, bringing in some white tones in the sky as well as calling attention to the boat there on the right that appears to be coming in to shore.
Well composed and presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest.
