Great Image and subject but needs the vertical correction on the lighthouse. Rgds. Rick

Kamala, this image is breathtaking. It sensitively captures the final moment or moments of the sunset. But its real strength is the shoreline, including the lighthouse. In connection with Rick's comment, had you corrected the vertical, the horizon would have been skewed. I think you made the right choice by making sure the horizon was level.

Hi Rick, Michael,

I had the same dilemma, whether to make the horizon straight or the light house. Finally I decided to keep the horizon straight.

Thank you for your comments and inputs.

Hi. Kamala : Apologies I din not make myself clear in the short comment. Michael is absolutely correct ~ a straight horizontal horizon is fundamental. What I intended to advise is that there are softwares available which would preserve the horizontal horizon but also allow correction of the apparent "lean" on the lighthouse. I've taken the liberty of doing the correction on a small screenshot of part of your image ( Which by the way is great ) hope you don't mind ~ it attached. Depending on what you use to process your images it may be possible in that. If not then other softwares are available ~ DxO Viewpoint springs to mind although there are other (cheaper) alternatives. I hope this makes it a bit clearer.

Hi Rick,

Yes, the picture you have uploaded after correction is a better POV. I did take a few along those lines. I uploaded a picture with a similar POV, but taken at a later time. I will look if I did manage to get a shot at the time this picture was taken.

I use lightroom and I can modify this image which I will try.....

Regards,

Kamala
