I took these last summer and just came across them while doing some sorting so I figured why not share them.

Round Island Lighthouse...

I'm surprised no one has commented on these. I really like the first one. I might crop a bit of water off the bottom but the light is great! Beautiful sky, too. Nice job!

Nice colors, to be sure. I think the WB might be a bit off in the first one - maybe that was an artistic choice. I agree a crop could help that image a lot.

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate the comments and suggestions. I did some work on the Round Island Lighthouse picture...

I also have another picture of the St. Clair and bridge but zoomed much further out. Here are two versions I cooked up...

Very nice. I do like the lighthouse after the crop. Also, like the gold tones better than the full color of the bridge photo.


All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.
