Hey, there's no shame in being in the bottom of this pack :)

I had a much better idea that I spent several hours on very early one morning, but Mother Nature refused to cooperate... so I went with this as a last minute idea. I still like the shot, and enjoyed the rather consistent recommendations, although the actual landscape of this scene makes it rather difficult to come up with the vantage point many people are suggesting.

This was a fun challenge despite my personal outcome, and this is certainly a batch that I'll review from time to time for inspiration!

I think there's a little too much foreground here for my liking.

i think i would have like this more if it had been shot more from the right, so that the tower would be completely visible and so that the two trees on the right would not be in the image.

Nice shot but I would like to see more of the house/lighthouse, they look interesting 7
