About the Image(s)

The image is of the Rockland Harbor Breakwater Light in Maine, it's a historic lighthouse established in 1902. I took this with my DJI Mavic 2 Pro two years ago while on a photo trip in Maine. It is a frame from a video, I did not do much post processing on the image. I cropped it in Lightroom and enhanced the color somewhat.

I like the composition in this image, although it is tilted a little bit to the right. The colors are nice, but the image seems to be a bit flat. I would try darkening down the upper half of the picture a bit to even out the tones and increase contrast on the building (I don't recommend increasing the contrast on the hills because they are at a distance and should be a bit hazy). The darker water at the bottom is good, but you also might want to lighten and perhaps saturate the reflection a little so it is more obvious, for it is a lovely part of the picture! I would also remove the white dots (buoys).   Posted: 03/09/2025 11:50:44

Thanks for the comments Dremma. I wasn't sure about leaving the buoys in, perhaps the answer should be "if not sure, take 'em out"   Posted: 03/10/2025 10:05:37

Yes, as Drema says, the image needs more contrast. And also the tilt to the right. But otherwise a nice image!   Posted: 03/11/2025 13:22:28

The image looks good but as mentioned by others above, the image needs just a little more 'punch'. It looks like a beautiful location.   Posted: 03/25/2025 01:59:21

Nice to fly and see such building. Saturation is kind of personal view, for me The image is OK.
As a landscape image seen the coat line, is nice, But for more impact I would crop and concentrate in the building, as a suggestion.   Posted: 03/26/2025 17:56:31
