Default Split Rock Lighthouse


The only problem I have with it, is the light spill out from the lighthouse, I probably could have fixed it in post, but didn't

Nice work! My only observation would be to crop it such that the light is closer to the 1/3- 1/3 position in the upper left area.

I like the "light spill" on the lighthouse. Next best thing to a beacon of light in a fog. I agree with Clockdoc about croping it. I'd take some of the sky out and some of the rock on the left.

a striking subject and beautiful blues.....the light "spill" might look good with an enhancement of gaussian blur....furthering the fog effect....

thanks for sharing...

Very nice shot. I agree with Clockdoc about the placement of the lighthouse. Crop it so it is on the intersecting lines of the upper left 1/3 and see what you think.
