Hi Don,
Firstly, I can't believe you had to be 'moved on' from a public space...you have to be at least drunk and disorderly in Australia for that to happen, or maybe standing next to a military base with a long bit of glass..
I like the subtle little starburst at the base of the Light house, its like a cheeky little wink. I also like the detail, especially in the lighted area mid frame to the left. For my taste I would crop a little more off the bottom (to just a little above your name) so the rocks show more perspective and increase the 'draw' into the image. Thanks for showing and taking a chance with the Police....
regards
DON

I like it as is. The mood is good, nice light, love the bright light. A crop of the rocks from the bottom would put more focus on the lighthouse, bringing it forward. I to cannot believe you were told to move along. I lived there for 27 years, never knew a lighthouse was there.

I was told were I was parked was trespassing along with using the empty lot to gain access to the beach, the beach and the area I took the images from are public property. I was warned that if I used the lot again and or parked on the side of the road I would be trespassing I have a gut feeling they are loosely interpreting the law but it's not worth pushing it.

Nice use of the leading line of rocks here, Don. Overall exposure and colours look good to me, and I enjoy the movement in the clouds.
It does look like the lighthouse is leaning slightly to the RHS? I would also have liked to see a version with the lighthouse slightly to the right of where you have it placed now - perhaps to achieve slightly better balance in the comp?

Hi Don, lovely work and worth the effort. Ditto on the slight lean of the lighthouse. Next time you stop you need to have a Woody Guthrie's 'This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land' playing on the car stereo
