Thanks, Bill...I've just uploaded a full-size image and requested a DPC Prints approval. Hopefully, they'll make it available soon.

15 out of 149? That's the best you could do? No wonder your lifetime average is so much lower than mine. :-P

j/k. Nice shot.

What an fantastically powerful image. The lighting is superb. I fear the literalists will mark you down, but clearly the best entry and I'd give it the Blue.

Fantastic analysis, Macrothing (sorry, you don't have your real name up in your profile). This was not the first time I've requested a CC review, but the first I've actually received one...well worth the wait! I honestly thought this would be a love it/hate it affair, but it turned in to an 8th place Love In. :-)

I took the image early on in the month, and tried a few edits...the biggest problem was that access to the location is only until 6PM, and I was there even earlier. The day was bright and sunny, and I felt the plain image lacked a certain pop. I was playing with the EFEX and accidentally erased a piece of the Lighthouse's base on that layer...well, one thing led to another and here we are.

Yes, a large print shows an immense amount of detail on the structure. As mentioned, I have a 24x36 on order, and a 12x18 at my office.

Thanks again for stopping in.

Nicely sepia-toned. I was thinking "Collingwood, Ontario? I don't remember this up there". Can I guess that you'll have an entry for Tunnels & Caves from the Scenic Caves at the top of Blue? I love that place!

Even at 6.2+, this shot is underrated. Should have been front page.

This is beautiful, I gave it a 9. Thought it would have ribboned, great perspective.

Sweet raptor, Bradster. Like the comments say, the bokeh is incredible, and I love how the highlights were managed. Are you sure you were using your Nikon? :-P
