Steven -- did you use a polarizer? The contrast between the blue sky and the pink/red lighthouse is outstanding!

I'm told by a lighthouse nut that this lightstation is affectionately known as "Big Red" and is the backdrop for many wedding photos.
Really nice image, Steven. I know from my own personal "project" of pictures of a lighthouse that getting an acceptable perspective on tall skinny buildings is very difficult. Yours looks good!
Glad you contribute to this site; I'm learning lots from your images.

Thanks for your comments. Tim, I did use a polarizer for this shot which helped with the color contrast, but I must admit I increased the saturation a little in PS before posting. Sue, it's interesting you should comment on the perspective. I can't help but wonder why the horizontal lines look natural and yet the vertical on the lower right of the building looks a bit skewed. Don't know why and don't know how to correct it in PS. Anyhow, thanks for the encouraging comment.

The Holland lighthouse indeed very affectionately known as Big Red by most lighthouse nuts and most of SW Michigan, for that matter. Having photographed here many times, Steve, I'm wondering if this was shot from the north side of the channel or up close and personal on the south side?

Gary, this was shot from the south side. It's a hike of a few hundred yards from the yacht club through some front yards that border that side of the channel.
