14920 Flagstaff Hill Lighthouse

Flagstaff Point, Wollongong, NSW

This one was a bit difficult, compositionally speaking. Clearly it's a serious violation of the "rule of thirds" with the main subject sitting more or less in the middle. But the problem is that I wanted to keep the red of the clouds as well as the reflection of the lighthouse in the wet sand, so I couldn't crop vertically. I wanted to keep the full waterline, but I also felt that the space between the headland and the sea "felt" right, so I couldn't crop horizontally. So sod it, I left it as it is.

Addendum: My personal opinion is that Facebook and all other members of the Meta group are disgusting, sociopathic organisations that steal other peoples' intellectual property (including the images in this gallery) despite being explicitly denied permission to do so.
