Hey Everyone,
I was going to wait till i got home in a month to put this on but i wanted to see if there were any suggestions for improvement on this particular photo.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

My honest feedback (qualified, as always, by not having a calibrated monitor when viewing):
1. The foreground could do with some lighting?
2. Horizon straightening?
3. I imagine the lighthouse has a conical shape to it, but it seems like it is leaning back and to the right.
Apart from that, the selective colour looks good and the B&W conversion is good, although I would try to increase the contrast a bit.
Good job.

Thanks for that, i find it always pays to have someone else look over pics just to spot the little things that i have missed.
Will try some corrections and hopefully get it looking better.
Cheers

I do like the photo but I think it would look best as a full b&w and as Patrick mentioned, more contrast would help too.
Which part of NZ is this one in?
thanks,
André
