Cape Disappointment

Three different views of the same location. Which one works best? Better lighting would have been nice but this is what I had to work with. The dark sky would have really worked well with a few rays of sun on the lighthouse. But....:dunno

i kinda think the second one is the best overall... the first shows the lighthouse well, but the rest of the image leaves me a bit flat. the last one has a great foreground, but that foreground overpowers the rest of the photo. #2 has a nice balance of perspective, and also shows more of the rocky headland and the power of the surf...

I'm torn between 2 and 3. 2 has that delicious wave action. But 3 has that superb foreground. Gonna have to call a tie here.

Ditto this!

My vote would be for two. I love the wave action. 3 with the wood in the FG is a huge distraction to me. I realize it just might be me. And 1 is too blah. That is Darryl's 2 cents worth.

Thank you for sharing

I prefer the second. The triple layering on the bluffs is very interesting and makes the bluffs look dangerous. The many angry waves tells the story of why the light house is there.

The third shot is too busy; what's the subject there? The debris on the beach or the light house? If it is the light house, then the portrayal of it is too small - makes it insignificant by comparison.

This looks like Lake Superior??

Thanks for all the comments and feedback, folks. The second shot is far and away the consensus favorite from everyone I've asked. Dave this is Cape Disappointment on the Washington side of the mouth of the Columbia River. The cape overlooks what is widely regarded as one of the roughest river entrances in the world.
