    the compressed jpeg does not do this one justice. cleaned up the frame edge of stuff that was on the beach and a stray reflection of light in the water.

    D300, 18-200 at 70mm, f/11, 2.5s, 0EV, ISO 640.

    thanks for looking. your comments and critiques are appreciated.

    Nice image Harold.

    I might crop off the last house with the light on, on the left border. Just seems out of place, though I know someone there might think of it as home! ;) Maybe cropping it to remove the first tall palm would work. Just a suggestion, but I think it would improve that area of the image.

    Very nice, Harold. I love the feel of this image and, like Gus, want to be there. I especially like the color, and I also wonder about that. My first impulse was to
    adjust it, but then I realized how sunset can play tricks with light, especially in tropical waters. So the greenish/yellow cast may be right on the mark.
    Even if it isn't, I like it as is and (for once) do not feel a need to mess with it! Nice work!

    (A slight CW rotation will put the lighthouse plumb.)

    I also like this image, I appreciate the greenish tint to it, a very nice change of pace, and the wind give the image a lot of energy. I agree with cropping on the left, to concentrate the lights near the lighthouse.
    cool image. do you have more? :)

    Sweet Harold !!! .... and very proud of you !! Lots of feel and one fine image !!

    I think the suggestion by Mark to evict the first light to the left is sound !! Big Congrats

    Yes, I agree with all -great shot, lovely pastel colors. I'm with the "remove first light at left" camp.
