Hello all,

A capture of Portland Head Light at sunset during a particularly low tide. Three images iHDR'd (exposures for the sky, the rock/lighthouse, and the reflection).

Nikon D700, 17-35mmf2.8 @24mm, ISO100
1/2s, 1.5s, 1/8s

C&C please...

Robert

Hi Robert,
I really like this image. The detail is outstanding. I truly appreciate the unique viewpoint for such a famous icon. My only suggestion is to consider changing the texture on the rock in the lower left center of the foreground. I find the orange/red color to be rather distracting. Have you considered converting this to black and white? Again, its a beautiful image. Thanks for posting it!

Beautiful image Robert. The earth shadow and reflection of the light are particularly compelling. BTW - welcome to NPN!

An impressive image, Robert, I especially like the impact of the foreground rocks. The high saturation works well.

Welcome to NPN!
