This is almost a great image. The wonderful monochromatic color harmony is muted by the overly dark pool on the left. I took the liberty of masking it and adjust the levels 1/2 stop lighter to preserve the wonderful harmonies most of the image has. PS, the white PN background makes this a tough shot to see well as usual.

Ken, You continue to amaze me (& most others as well I'll bet). You've taken one of the most photographed landmarks in Canada & have given it a different look. Not an easy chore. Another 'attaboy' for you. If the dry foreground rock shape wasn't enough to lead the eye to the lighthouse the light green light on dark blue background does it for sure. Best, LM.

Very nice improvement on the "standard" lighthouse shot.

 

I disagree with Miles. The pool is not overly dark. As a matter of fact, I think the gradation of color from the lower left to top right corners is an important component of the composition.

I haven't been very active at PN lately, but this photo has my attention.

 

Very nice Kenneth and (dare I say?) original. I can't recall every seeing a lighthouse shot in this manner. I too think that the pool is not too dark. The dark edge at the lower left bottom of the pool lends itself nicely to the overall balance of the photo (i.e. balancing the dark band on the lower part of the background point and the dark patch to the right of the foregorund rock).

 

But, what really got my attention was the title... brilliant!
