Lighthouse at the South End

Taken at the south end of Beaver Island and processed tonight. The color version was not appealing and I almost deleted it, but then thought in b&w, emphasizing mirror shape (sort of) of the large trees on the right of the lighthouse and the watchman's house on the left made it a more interesting image.

B and w was definitely a good choice. Nice textures and lines and shapes

[Leslie]

looks like that lighthouse keeper had a great home .

[Richard Hickey]

Cool picture.

[Elizabeth]

Your processing emphasizes the texture of the trees- which actually
look green in contrast to the lighthouse. Cool effect.

This image looks great in b&w...great composition.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Lighthouses... I love them!

[Diana]

It's a beautiful lighthouse and lovely shot.

[eDorre]

I like all of the textures here.

[Marnie]

Definitely works well in b&w, emphasises the lines.

[Pam Knowler]

So the lighthouse keeper didn’t have to live in the lighthouse! Very cosy!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

interesting how bw can change an image a lot

[Rob Z]

A nice image - the structure of the lighthouse and the house don't seem to match - different construction times I guess.

[Babs]

What a fabulous lighthouse, I could live there quite happily. fav.

Gorgeous

[Issi Bannerman]

It's amazing what black and white can do to some images. This is a lovely capture.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Great pov and details.

[Leon Buijs]

Lovely image, it seems it's not pure b&w but a bit of the green coming through.

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful lighthouse.

[Lou Ann]

A lovely image. It seems to me the trees would block the lighthouse light from being seen from the sea.

Great shot

Wondeful lighthouse, pic! B&W works, the brick work is amazing on the lighthouse

[Pigeons Farm]

Great shot

[Diane]

Nice image of a great-looking lighthouse. I like the textures of the lighthouse, buildings and trees.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Allison Williams]

It’s fascinating how blocking something as essential as natural color can lead to an image that is even better.

[haskar]

Great shot and processing.

[Helen Jane]

this is most charming. A lovely composition. You left a bit of green in the trees, yes? Plenty of textures, and I love the brickwork on the lighthouse.
