Nubble Light at Night

After patiently waiting for the setting sun to break through the cloud cover and bathe the lighthouse;which did not happen BTW; I decided to switch gears and try something else. This was taken 20-30 minutes after sunset. I used levels to lighten the scene just a bit as it was pretty dark when the image was taken.

Thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment.

Ed, great shot, in fact, one of the best Nubble shots I've seen. Nice dramatic sky, great reflection. I think it could use a little more processing, though. Of course, it might be my crappy monitor, but to me, the water and foreground rocks look a little noisy. Maybe a little selective noise ninja in those areas?

Very nice - a great take on this scene. I would clone or crop the edge of the pylon creeping in on the LHS.

Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated.
Mike - I think you may be right, the FG rocks and water still look a little noisy. I just ran noise ninja on auto because of time.
Mark - I did not notice the pole until after posting. I thought I had cropped it out when composing in the twilight.

Great light here, I love the red reflection, and this is yet another photo that shows that yes you can do very well even if the sky is cloudy.

Love a good lighthouse image Ed, this is great!
Like the color sat and dramatic sky, it works well.
I especially like the way the house next to it is lit-up, looks like a cars headlights approaching that are just out of view..
And the red across the water just hitting the FG rocks is magic

Happy Easter
