It was challenging to find an appropriate composition for "Owls Head Light" mainly because of the short 30-foot tower. From the water, although picturesque, the tower would be too small compared to the other elements. The view from the very top of the stairs was not capturing the feeling either. Instead I chose a more dramatic angle, this time from half way up the stairs. A bold aqua green sky makes up a third of the image accompanied by receding wind-swept clouds and the islands on the horizon. I wanted to create in "Owls Head Light" an openness and a sense of the great distance one can see on a clear day.
