On my way up to the Farm, I stopped by Ponce Inlet to shoot the light at sunset.

Not great clouds, but did get great grads in the sky.....glad I stopped.

Nice image. Like the color and offset.

Is it the leaning light house of Ponce though? :eek:

Appears to be leaning little to the left????

Not a major issue, as a minor tilt will fix that.

Otherwise nice image. Thanks for not placing it dead center.

Hmm, looks straight to me. I like the whole concept Michael. I wish the palm was a touch smaller in frame. Maybe if you had the space, back up and zoom in more. To me its a touch too dominant. All other aspects, exposure, etc work really well.

I agree the palm is way to dominant here Michael. You did however catch the light and the colors a lot better than I did when I was there recently. I found this light the most difficult to photograph. My 5D died on the spot there. Getting fixed now. I love the colors here.

Hey Michael,
Agree with the others that the palm is a bit too dominant. This is one of my favorite LH's but also one of the toughtest. I think this makes a stronger vert with most of the palm gone. The re-post shows where I think it is strongest.....hope others come back and chime in. Great colors and thought process on this one.
