Topaz remask, adjust, simplify, and Flaming Pear flood & glitterato.

Posted the wrong version, but could not change it...

Hi Mitch, I wonder if this might look good without the lighthouse in the center of the image. Not sure you need it but let's hear what others have to say. Nice colors and great extraction work as always!

Denise,

I took out the lighthouse (I compressed the center a bit as it looked too empty to me...) what do you think?

Mitch, I definitely like the repost better...I would be tempted to tighten the composition up even more...right now the dark cloud mass and reflection still tends, at least to my eye, to split the image in two. It's a tough call, trying to mirror the two sides and add other compositional elements to the mix...I will be interested in seeing where you take this.

Mitch, I like it much better too!

Mitch, I like the repost much better. I think maybe a crop from the bottom might address John's concerns?

Both different and both very well done IMO. I do always prefer images of nature without the hand of man, hey I'm old and its just what I like . So the second one for me works better, but the first one is still excellent. Just different.

All the best Mitch and gorgeous work involved, well done.

Danny.

This looks surreal to me. Don't know if I'm using the term correctly, but, it could be the representation of a dream. I like both versions. Perhaps the lighthouse is just a bit too large (but don't make it as small as you did in a prior image.) The image is bold and strong. The colors and reflections are excellent. Good work.
