lots of those Maine lighthouses like the one at Portland, etc have been done to death. Nice image but my first reaction was it very much gets the perspective wrong...the lighthouse is an afterthought visually to the granite rocks in foreground. Perhaps a different perspective might have been to shoot very shallow depth of field with center focus on the lighthouse itself and let the sea and rocks be more gauzy, less in sharp focus so the lighthouse stands out while in the environment of the sea which is what causes it to be there. Just a thought for an alternate treatment. very clear image and I'm just musing about the effect of how the composition is treated.

I live not far from that place. What amazes me is how millions of photos can be taken there and people still find a way to be original. You captured the lighthouse, an appealing sky, and a suitable foreground. For some real fun, go there some evening when a full moon is expected. It's "Tripod City" all over those rocks. I'll never stop going there.

Thank you Dennis. I appreciate your kind comments. I'll bet it is beautiful under a full moon.

I Had the pleasure to do a weekend photo shoot in Maine a few years ago, if you have the time go up to the Portland Head Lighthouse, it is one of the best to photograph in southern Maine.

Thank you. We go to Maine quite often but I must admit I have not ventured to the
Portland Head Lighthouse. I will have to put that on my list of things to do.

Nubble Light Maine, beautiful place! How much did you notice about the lighthouse? Did you notice the "aerial cable car"? Light houses are very interesting, each one has a story to tell!
