Quiet solitude
The Groyne Lighthouse, South Shields
Some people enjoying the peace and quiet at The Groyne Lighthouse, South Shields, fishing for codling or flounders in the harbour. Here the River Tyne exits to the North Sea beyond the two piers on the horizon.
This is a Photoshop composition, the original coloured layer had an orange gradient laid over it which was then masked. I painted on the mask with a soft black brush at 40% opacity to expose the rocks and the lighthouse then reduced the opacity of the layer to suit.

How lovely! You really did a great job! That would be a nice photo in the Photography Challenge little challenge right now called “Solitude”. http://www.photography-cafe.com/forum/index.php?topic=5325.0

I’m trying to learn Photoshop but still don’t understand what you said. Someday. Whatever you did, the results are just great. Not such a great spot to walk on that slippery seaweed!
