Sunrise at Ram Island

[Roman Kurywczak]

I was at Portland Head Light for sunrise where I met fellow BPN member Grady Weed and his wonderful wife. Unfortunately the visit was too short as I was leading my tour but I hope to make it up in the winter.
I decided to concentrate on this offshore light as the sun was just coming up. This is a single frame image that I cropped down to pano.....even though I liked the full size version...........I preferred this particular one as a pano. Canon Mark 3 with the 100-400mm lens and 1.4 tele. at 560mm and ISO 200 and f16 for 1/50 sec. tripod mounted.
As always, comments welcomed and appreciated.

I like this a lot. Composition works for me. I like what looks like an orange light in the lighthouse. Works very well as a pano.

my apologies, roman!!! i dont know how i missed it in the original post.

[Anita Rakestraw]

I absolutely love this, Roman!! The light is gorgeous, the soft horizontal layers lovely, the fog, the delicate details - just wow from me!

[David Steele]

Well done Roman, I agree with all the comments and kudos.

[David Kennedy]

Wonderful isolation. I wouldn't mind a touch more to the bottom edge, but otherwise find the composition very pleasing. Nicely done, and thanks for sharing, Roman!

[Noel Carboni]

So much expressiveness packed into such a small color range. Amazing!

Indeed, it's a lovely image Roman! The color palette is so pleasing. I love that the sky and water blend into one...the slight fog around the lighthouse base adds to the effect of a lighthouse just floating in the dawn sky. Great job!

[Grady Weed]

Judd said it. It is as if the lighthouse appears from now where out of the fog. Mine was further away in the frame. I like your version better.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Superb. Simple yet powerful. The colour is fabulous.

[Kaushik Balakumar]

Oh beautiful.
It has a surreal feel. Lovely image. Very aptly treated while PP too.

[Michael Pancier]

[Gayle Clement]

This is just beautiful. I love that really wonderful light you captured.

Roman,
Absolutely awesome color on this one...The title could be "Lighthouse in the Heavens".

My only comment is that there is some dust spots present on my screen...I cleaned my screen and their still there...

Either way...Great Work !

[Gus Cobos]

Simply amazing Roman,
I like the mood and feel to this one...I like that redish orange fog...nicely done...looking foward to your next creation...:cool:

[Julie Kenward]

I think I could probably look at that all day. It's really one of the most ethereal images I've ever seen. The colors, the fog...the lighthouse...it's amazing.
