Thanks Leane and Megan! I appreciate your encouragement!This is the Heceta Head Lighthouse, which is just north of Florence, OR. I used curves, color balance (a little, the blue was already there), and added some noise to get a grainy effect. This was taken just after sunset as the light in the sky was fading and there was enough mist in the air to make a nice beam out of the light. #1936762
