Portland Head Lighthouse Photo

Photographer’s Note

This famous lighthouse has been photographed countless times from another area of the property. Rather than taking the same approach I decided to include this small house and plant in the foreground.

The home really ads to the lighthouse. Good to walk around a bit when taking a picture of a wellknown place... The colours are brillant btw!

Fantastic shot Michael! I like the colors and the view is very refreshing. For some reason it reminds me of some of the puzzles I had - it has great detail and one can easily make a wonderful 1000 pieces (or more!) puzzle out of this one.

Very nice, I understand why this lighthouse is photographed a lot. Good composition and DOF. The colors are good, but would have been even better if a polarizing filter would have been used.

What a beautiful image. Very nice color balance, particularly the blue sky and the greenery. Excellent composition, as well.

A very romantic image, actually. You can just imagine the scene before you.
