Hockamock Head Light7576

One of my favorite lighthouses - Taken on a mostly clear summer day

(sky not "great") and obviously post processed to create a mood.

Comments/suggestions appreciated.

Hi Sandra,   I guessed right in thinking that this is Maine.   The greens and browns create nice contrast with the red roofs,  and the ominous look of the sky and surroundings contrast beautifully with the nicely lit light house and buildings.  Do the buildings lean backward a bit due to camera tilt?  Perhaps this is what you intend.  You can correct it with a vertical adjustment in lens corrections in PS.  As is Mainely (LOL) the case with most of your postings,  this image is thoughtfully created and conveys a cold and haunting mood. Perhaps this these are not the Maine themes you wanted to portray.  Best to you as always.   Larry

Larry - Thank you for your comments. I"m pretty certain there isn't any lens perspective distortion involved in this photograph. I shot it from the deck of our sailboat out in the channel well off the rocks of Hockamock Head. What I think  you may visually interpret as tilt is the actual construction of the light tower. It tapers slightly (as do most lighthouses) even though it is square instead of round.  I did have to straighten the image a bit thanks to the wave action as I was shooting; to do that I aligned a vertical guide with the far left corner of the light keeper's house.
