Portland Head Lighthouse
Hello everybody. I'm new to fstoppers. Thought I would share one of my favorite photos. This is the Portland Head Lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth Maine. Would love to know what you think.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

I think you've captured it very well. There is a very nice "S" curve in the bay/rocks leading to the lighthouse...very nice actually. I'll assume it was intentional.
It's a bright enough image that would look very good in an office.
Well done.
Thank you!
Really nice! The rocks are very interesting to look at, but they don't take an unfair amount of attention from the lighthouse because they point to it. I think something might be missing from the sky...not saturation, but whites. It seems the contrast within the sky doesn't match the water and rocks. Could be just the haze of distance though. I like the photo a lot.
(Also, in case of printing, watch out for the sensor spot to the left of the buldings, at the same height as the lighthouse.)
Thank you for pointing that out! I try to get all of those spots out but sometimes they are hard to find.
Great shot! Well done.
