Postcard
by Richard Stocks

Does this count as three submissions? :-)

This was inspired by Willem's gallery image; up until then I really had no idea what to enter. The "postcard" is made up of a view of the Cape Schanck lighthouse, the inner workings, and a pretty tight crop of a view from the balcony.

Just to move away from all the manipulation in image processing applications, I actually did the layout using Publisher, and exported the end product as a jpeg.


other sizes: small medium original auto

If I saw this card on a rack I would buy it to send to someone. If I received this card, I would want to go there. Looks great!

This is a great advert Richard. I'm going to ad this to my 'places to go' list. Seeing as you live in/visit Victoria - have you stayed at the Point Hicks lighthouse?http://www.justimagine.com.au/lighthouse/vic/hicks.asp?fState=Vic ...Well worth a stay in the cottage (bring your friends for a weekend). It's nestled in a national park - the beaches are full of nautilus shells and it's perfect for whale watching (the water is freezing to swim in though). I think you can see Tassie from there ;) - Simon Bennett.

MarkJ: I actually spent a bit of time adding "Victoria" and "Australia" into the caption, but it just didn't look as good (to me). Anyway, now you know where it is! If anyone is interested, some info on the lighthouse is athttp://www.justimagine.com.au/lighthouse/vic/capeschanck.asp?fState=Vic. --Rich

Great work, Richard. The images themselves create interest and, you did a nice job of piecing this together for a postcard. I would like the see the name of the state next to the name of the lighthouse, tells the viewer exactly where they want to go to visit this lighthouse... since someone like me has no idea where this is? :-) Mark J

What a great submission (one only ;-). Colors match well between the three parts and I like the combined view on, from and inside the lighthouse, very smart. You could try to sell this one for sure. Willem

This could be in a souvenir shop at the lighthouse. Nicely done.

Well Done! Very professional layout. Great clarity and color. I love the way you spotlight the inside of the light house and its surrounding all together. Very nice.

Wow! this really looks like a post-card. Professional-looking composition. Not sure if it counts as 3 photos, but i don't care - it looks very good.
