...what you want. Sunset at Portland Head Light, only had one day, in and out. Hoping for great clouds, angry sea...but ya take what ya get; moon and early evening (7:05 pm) colors helped some. Stayed longer waiting...but things just got darker.

This is a very nicely inviting lighthouse scene, Reno, with warm light on the rocks and the lighthouse. The nearly full moon is a fine addition to the scene. I do wonder how cropping from the left to 4 x 6 would look.

Looks just like a really nice postcard Reno. This is what we got when we were there about fifteen years ago. It is such a beautiful cozy little lighthouse.

Maybe not what you hoped for but still and excellent image, Reno! Great light, perfect composition and the moon is a nice little bonus. Well done!
