This photograph was taken at Biddeford Pool a large tide pool on Saco Bay in southern Maine.  It is near the first permanent European settlement in Maine called Winter Harbor.  The light house in the distance is the 1910 Wood Island Light.

The photographer has captured the crest of the wave breaking over the beach rocks using a fast shutter speed.  The light on the foreground rocks is quite good and the color of the sea is a stunning azure.  The placement of the light house was determined by the amount of wave the photographer desired to include in the image.  About one third of the way in from the left frame it is nicely situated.

Perhaps the photographer would consider a couple of suggestions.  The white in the waves is a little flat and could be brought up by altering the white point on the RGB Color Curve using photo manipulation software.  This will make the whites more brilliant.  Another though would be to reduce the amount of sky in the image and darken it a little.  There is little information in the sky area and by lowering and darkening this area we get more of a feeling of the importance of the light house.
