Wow beautiful scene Paul, the red hut really adds interest......love the rocks and how you have captured the water.....great job :-) #10424481Paul R. Nelson November 18, 2012
Thank you Art, Susan and Kim. I wanted to capture a unique image of this lighthouse which is a popular landmark, and a wide-angle lens set low gave me the vantage point I was looking for. The water was very dynamic from the storm; I am glad to know I was able to convey that in this image. #10424753Carla Capra Anderson November 19, 2012

Thank you, Carla. #10425548Gary R. Smith November 19, 2012
Great shot, Paul. This reminds me of the ocean here in Maine. Your exposure and dof are right on. #10425877Paul R. Nelson November 20, 2012
Thank you, Gary. Lake Superior is big enough that it may have some characteristics that are similar to the ocean. #10427193Kalena Randall November 23, 2012
