I had something else in mind but after shooting twice the clouds just wouldn't cooperate. I took a few quick shots of the lighthouse "just in case".

I think you must rent this place out, there never seems to be anyone else there. :P
I really like the smoothness in this, its a nice calm.

cool shot and well composed. I'm not a fan of the inner shadow used though.

Pretty nice and metallic looking. I personally do not care for the "border".

Wow, this is incredible, i actually expect to see this on the front page, 10 from me and a favorite.

This is such a compelling location, but the dodge/burn editing around the catwalk in this particular capture yanks my eye away from the focal point.

I like the simplicity. I'm not keen on the frame.

Good lines and cool smooth feel to this shot. The light star is very cool. Not digging the shadowy border but I still would expect this to score well.

wow...I love the light, composition and tones...mixed feelings about the vignetting, but I can live with it 9
