Hello Greg,
the good viewpoint you've chosen and the very saturated blue sky give the lighthouse an almost 3D look.
Excellent composition and colour. Perfect lighting. Very good job.
All the best.

Hi Greg,
Beuatiful surrounding, in this crisp and bright image, wish i stood here beside you. That lighthouse is wonderful, but also those red roofs which make the colour in the image in combination with two tones of blue...the sky and ocean...wonderful.
Regards, henk

Horizon is not straight....easy to correct.

Beautiful capture, well framed with good color and post processed very nicely.

Great note except for one small detail... this isn't Portland!

Hello Greg,

Very nice shot. This lighthouse is really attractive with its shapes and the houses with red roofs. The lightning, I suppose from end of the day, allowed to drawn smooth and delicate colors on both the lighthouse but also on the sea and the no clouds sky.
This place should be worth to be seen.

Hi Greg,
You caught this famous lighthouse in genergous lighting that bring out all its wonderful details. The colors are brilliantly vivid with exceptional details and sharpness to the rocks, surf, tower and roof. The sky makes the perfect backdrop for this georgeous scene.

Hi Greg
Very nice marina; the place looks great.
Perhaps we shall see one day the firehouse on lights in the twilight.

Ah, the Portland Head lighthouse!
I have seen so many pictures about it, I've got it even in my calendar!
Truly this one is one of the best.
As ever with you: good saturated colours makes the whole image so vivid and real.
I'm a lover of lighthouses: I'd like to have that in my desktop.
My best compliments,
Donato

Hi Greg,

Those lighthouses are somehow romantic. Very well seen contrast between the sky and waters and the white structure. Those red roofs add to the perfect composition as well.
Lovely place,

Cheers

Hello Greg,

I'm sure I have seen this before but from a different pov.
It is tall and important, and is beautifully framed by the blue of the sea and sky!
Perfectly placed, off-centre where the eyes can absorb both itself and the neighbouring, red-roofed buildings before following the line of the rocks out to sea! A very pleasing composition!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
p.s. Interesting notes, my friend!

the difficulties our internet provider is experiencing right now means this is the third time I'm trying to write a comment here. but I'm determined to succeed, so here it goes :)

I don't think it can get more "picture-perfect" than this - blue sky, red roofs, warm light on the stones, white lighthouse. I like a lot how clear the photo is, every detail crisp and sharp, that's how the ocean breeze usually feels. very nice work, Greg, my compliments.

with best regards,
Kristine

Greg,
Nice asymetrical shot, as if to say this is what the lighthouse sees instead of using it as the center of the photo. nice and vibrant as always.

Greg,
what a suprise. First you posted a lot of shots of historic New England and all of the sudden you show up in one of the youngest states - Oregon. A turbo moment from one coast to the other.
Absolutely perfect light conditions rendering perfect colors and contrast. The composition with the lighthouse very off center couldn't be better.

every lighthouse photo is interesting but this one is far better than many I have seen despite 230 years of history it looks as if built so new . and surrounding area is covered by big rocks, if it was only the lighthouse it would be average but there are many objects to witness here along with it.

Hi Greg,
Wonderful scenery and superb sharpness and details. The blue of the sky and sea, the white of the lighthouse and the adjacent house with the red roof look superb.
I did spend much time in and around Durham N.H, which I enjoyed a lot, but have really wasted my old photos which I took with a point and shoot. What a pity.
best regards. Salvator.
