Cape Lookout Lighthouse - about 50 minutes after sunset. This was Memorial Day weekend & a lot of boats end up camping in this very popular spot.

The whole image is put together very well, and it's beautiful, too. Excellent work!

Very nice image. The color is very good and the sharpness is great. I like it as it is, but an alternative might be to crop the bottom up to the bright light on the water. The focus would be even more on the lighthouse.
