It is an amazing picture. I like the monochromatic grey with the only bright color from the lighthouse. Also the contrast with the black rocks is very beautiful.
Excellent picture !

Absolutely magnificent! There is a very big sweetness in this photo in spite of the violence of the elements which burst out so congratulations for this superb work !

Hi Nuno,
This is beautiful. The dark clouds and the water coming in after covering the lighthouse.
Beautiful composition, the rocks in the front, the water and the lighthouse....

There is a very menacing effect to this shot against the solitary lighthouse...( the glowing red flashlight on top quits fits the situation )..the waves with its silky formation contrasts the subject in the pic (lighthouse)..every lighthouse tells a story and adds an imp aspect to every coastline..

Good One

Cheers.
Sayeed

Hi Nuno
very impressive picture.It seems to be unreal. You give a fantastic effect with the long exposure. The sky is wonderful and the little touch of red with the lighthouse is incredibly nice. Congratulations.

Perhaps the best picture i've seen today, how great powerfull and huge can be mother nature ... Excellent settings for this realisation ... perhaps a little bit too much neating in sky.
Anyway i really applaude this marvelous picture
GREAT !

Hi Nuno!
I don’t know what else to say than: “WOW!!!!”. This shot is very impressing. The extreme weather conditions and the long exposure time made this photo look magic. Did you apply any other crucial pp technique? What about HDR? It looks a bit like it.
Regards
Andreas

You're a master of long exposure shot. The light is ... amazing.
Very nice shot,
Jean-Claude

Another impressive one, Nuno. Truly a decisive moment in nature. The 2-sec exposure has worked wonders. Sharpening is perhaps a tad overdone. I like the red color on top of the lighthouse which contrasts nicely with all the gray. Regards,
Hakan

Wow... that's an amazing one. Excellent choice of speed, perfect rendering of sea and clouds. A very impressive one.

This is so incredible! The mood is very ominous. I am especially drawn to this, because I love photographing lighthouses. Beautiful work!
