This lighthouse is about 3 miles from my home, I literally have to stand on someones lawn to take this, and at 11:45pm, it's not a comfortable feeling. The foliage on the bottom corners were cropped so they can create a natural border on bottom only...I used a tripod, most of the color is natural from the light capture, I desaturated the yellow and red gradients a little, and boosted purple slightly..I also boosted the contrast, and sharpened it. Finally the border a little crop, scaled it and a final USM.
wow !...my old cam is got some left in her ! thanks for voting everyone !

From what I've heard about visiting Staten Island light, you really were risking it taking this shot. My understanding is that the neighbors aren't lighthouse visitor "friendly".
