94%, 99% and 100% is your idea of "pretty well"? Yes, I'd say it was a great morning. And I do love this one - that sky is stupendous.

I think it's unfair when people say things like "so many great shots from this perspective," etc. You have a lighthouse restraining order, this is as close as you can get, and that's that. Well done, lighthouse stalker.

Comment by Neil:
Fine image Mark!

Perhaps some people do not realize that this is Pemaquid Point light rather than Castle Hill (or perhaps they are being tongue and cheek and I didn't catch it). I don't know of many lights with the charm that Castle Hill has, and also so close to the shoreline. But it's a fine, and different shot of Pemaquid than the usual reflection shots (I'm guilty of that).

And you had a better (clouded) sky than I did!

(Also, not that it matters, except in the interpretation of my title...this is sunrise, Sailors Delight was sunset, "Red skies at night, Sailors Delight!"!)

In the end, you took home the Yellow, tied with the original! Congratulations.
