My brother Ed enjoying the view at Bass Harbor Lighthouse. This is a crop from a photo I posted years ago on the old NPN. It didn’t receive much feedback as a lighthouse image so I decided to concentrate on that great sky.

The sky is indeed lovely, Michael. It’s reflection in the water makes for a gently colorful scene. Ed, the buoy, and the items on the horizon provide a subtle human presence that works adds well to the scene.
Mike,
I actually like the cropped version much better as it does make the sky come to the forefront. In the original the sky above Bass Harbor Light is a little bland when compared to the other half of the sky. I am enjoying the combination of warm and cool tones in the scene along with all of the human elements in the scene. My only suggestion; and this is being super nit picky; would be to add a little canvas to the right side of the image to move marker buoy a little farther from the edge. Minor stuff as this is lovely as is.
The edited image is lovely. My only little nit is the light areas in the upper left sky draw the eye there. I would darken them, or even better, fill them with some of the pink/blue sky color using a brush with Mode/Soft Light/ reduced opacity (try starting with 5%).
