This is the second photo in my Nubble Lighthouse series. Here is a closeup of the light tower on the Nubble Lighthouse converted to b&w. I decided to leave the light in color so it could be seen easier. One interesting thing I noticed about the lighthouse is that it seems to be easier to see the light from afar then when close up. It must be designed that way I suppose. Later I will post a photo of the lighthouse from much further away so you can see.

Beautiful capture…I love the touch of red.
Nice to see that small house at the bottom line up with the tower!
Love the contrasty (is that a word?) colors.
Love the white on white. Wonderful image!!!
impressive capture, works well in b&w and the selective color is just beautiful.. nice work!
Nice shooting, composition feels good and I like the toning.
I like the idea of making a selective desaturation here. Nice !
I really like the choice of B&W with the subtle touch of color, great perspective,
Keep them coming
A very beautiful lighthouse, great perspective and perfect layout !!
That’s a beautiful composition. You leaving the light in color makes the image more interesting.
Oh, wow, this is just perfect. The richness of the black and then that spot of color. It’s such a beautiful lighthouse.
Buen encuadre y compo, el toque del faro en rojo me gusta mucho, buen trabajo.
Saludos.
Nice selective colouring, lovely shot.
A nice black and white conversion and I love the selective colour. A great photo.
great work with selective focus, I like the mood
I love light houses… they have something special about them…
This actually looks like a very scientific way of making a lighthouse. Amazing how the white is merging in the background.
I like this in black and white which emphasizes the graphic quality of the lighthouse. The separation in whites is minimal which gives the blacks extra stress. Nice work.
I like the use of colour is that super b+w image.
So this is automated now pitty I would like to live there
very nice post work trick too
I know how you feel it would be great fun to be able to stay there!
This is fantastic, Andy! Love that you left the light red. Perfect processing.
