Re: Lighthouse
Very nice photograph. I would be tempted to crop a little of the empty foreground out, and maybe take care not to over sharpen your digital images.

Re: Lighthouse
Thanks, what gives the impression of over sharpen, just so i know what im looking for. I think this image was given a treatment in Topaz, could that be what has given the over sharpen look ?

Re: Lighthouse
Over sharpened images tend to look 'hard' and have a false 'magazine' style presentation that just doesn't look natural. It is a major fault for new comers to photography. I think your image is just borderline in this respect....remeber, it is possible to sharpen just a few of the elements in your picture to attract the eye whilst leaving other areas such as clouds or trees a little softer. Over sharpening digital images is sooo easy to do and I have been guilty of it myself and need to remind myself to back off a little.
This is just my personal opinion. Regards Matt. K Regards

Re: Lighthouse
thats good advice... Dave, I think the Topaz filter/preset which also looks like clarity or tonal contrast tweaking has contributed here, look at the horizon on teh right and you can see soft haloing... also on the lighthouse structure, see the different 'coloured' or tonal whites. The Topaz / presets are good, but you need to watch them to ensure you don't head into that 'crunchy' stage since this is when you have heaps of detail and and heaps of dynamic range but the image ends up looking flat, often since there is no light and dark to the image. in terms of sharpening... look for a white halo line close to edges of objects, a sure sign of too much on the sharpener.... hth gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
