Portland Head Lighthouse

PHL is one of my favorite places to shoot. I like #1 better, but I would straighten your horizon a bit and tone down the highlights. The lighthouse tower is overexposed and has no detail
 
I like #1 because it shows all of the house, it looks cut off in #2. If you had a shot like #2 that was positioned with the house a little more to the right so it doesn't look "cut off" I think that would be great for a wall.
 
Heh, I like my version better ;).

Its a great spot. The trick is to get there on a cloudy filled day with lots of wave action.
 
I'm jealous, we had a trip set up for Maine but had to cancel it. Anyhow, i like #2 to most.
 
All are welcome! Please visit our scenic vistas, quaint shops and fine eateries. Make sure to spend all the money you can. We really really need it!
 
I like Two Lights a little better. Maybe I have just seen so many PHL shots I like something a little different these days. Spring point light with the jetty and fort in the background is also one of my favorite spots as well.
 
I live in South Portland and have extensively shot all of the described locations. I've had great luck using both a 14-24 and even a fisheye on my Nikon D810 and the D610. You can check out my stuff on Flickr if you like.
