Hillsboro Lighthouse - Dawn

[Michael Pancier]

EOS 7D
Canon 24-105 ƒ/4 L IS
ƒ/22
2.0 Seconds
ISO 100
2 Stop ND Grad.

In post processing, I added some light seagreen tinting in reverse grad to the water to make it stick out more. Appreciate opinions on it....

I like the affect with the water Michael. Nice balance with the light, small island and posts/sunset; left to right.

I would try I crop just above the lower layer of clouds.

Hi Michael, nice job on this with the comp and techs.
Agree with Robert on the crop. Wondering if the foreground water might be a bit bright for the time of day...

[David Thomasson]

Very nice scene. I played around with a darker pano version.

[Kobus Tollig]

Agree on the crop here. I like Davids crop

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Michael,
I do like David's pano but I like the OP also albeit with the recommended crop off top. I think you can tweak the lightest lower frame edge of the water just a tad darker.....tjhen I think the image will work overall very nicely.

i think the water does seem a little bright for the scene. heck of an idea, just a little much. agree on the top crop suggestion. nice light, michael!!
