Pemaquid Point Lighthouse
For years I've wanted to go here to get this shot (with a reflection). I lucked out the afternoon I went there.
I had to deal with the people though. Had to clone out a rude woman who refused to move for even a few seconds.

Beautiful image Michael. Very interesting reflection in the small puddle of water. I especially liked the texture of the rock. You have chosen a nice place to make this image since the rock patterns 'seem' to be radiating outwards from the light house on top.
Only nit would be that light looks a bit harsh/contrasty.
mid afternoon light was contrasty ...Originally Posted by Kaushik Balakumar
Came back to see this image again Michael. Its beautiful.
Does it require slight CCW rotation or is it optical illusion...? Am unsure...
it's illusion I guess. I had the head balanced (RRS Pano head) and a bubble level ...:D
Hey Michael,
I looked into a shadow/highlight recovey on this one.........it seemed to address Kaushiks contrast issue (as well as mine)........because the evergreens on the left look too dark for time of day........the S/H boost........would lightened the FG rocks as well a bring more depth to the evergreens and sky. Long time to wait for the reflection shot..........glad you finally got it!
Great reflection and well worth the wait ( even with rude people). I love the texture and pattern of the rocks as Kaushik mentioned.
This is a Beautiful shot!!
The structure of the rock is pulling a viewer into the picture.
Michael,
I am seeing this image more like Nagesh then like Kaushik as leading me to the lighthouse. Very powerful leading lines. Reflection well thought out.
I suggest a reverse s-curve and then the shadows/highlights correction and add 20% of midtone contrast.
