The color in this is phenomenal. The level of detail is out of this world, too... A tiny bit oversharpened in some areas but really, this is superb. I'd say top 10.

Bass Harbor is an awesome place... I have a very similar shot hanging on my wall right next to me. Seems a little over-contrasty to me.

the sky is nice but the rocks are way over processed.

Lovely. I would've cropped out more of the rocks to be able to bring attention to the lighthouse and that great sky.

I vaguely remember seeing the same (or similar) scene before, but in Black & White. With color, there are way too many things in the picture to focus on, all competing for attention. Individually, I love the separated reflection of the lighthouse, the texture on the rocks, and the beautiful color gradient in the sky.

Lovely composition. Editing is a wee bit heavy handed for my taste but I sure would love to be sitting on those rocks unwinding from my day!

this is such a beautiful lighthouse and spot, you've got a lovely sky here as well and a bit of a reflection - all that equals a great photo - good luck
