Great combination of lines and tones.
 
I agree with Hans here, beautiful geometry and good composition. I would maybe burn a bit the highlighted part of the dome and the structure under it unless you like that fading.
 
This is great. Very well done...

Good timing too...catching the shadow of the dome at the corner of the base is near perfect. Did you get lucky or have to wait on the sun awhile???
 
Great shot I'm sure the hightlights are very delicate in the final print.
 
Pan f and Rodinal 1:50 is one of my favorite combinations. i like your use of lines and the tonal range achieved. i don't understand the heavy blacks one the left and right side, and i think the paperbase white on the left side of the dome draws your eye out of the image. overall a strong image.

Hi, and thanks for the comments. The shadow was serendipity, just snagged it!

The white on the left side is just down to a bad scan and the black is sky on the left and shadow area on the right. This was caused by the really bright sun on the white face of the lighthouse causing underexposure of these areas. I enhanced this effect by using an orange filter, the idea being to focus on the shapes and lines.

Cheers, Tony
