undoubtably this is a gr8 photo though i would personally like to see less sand and more of the beacon..... i feel that the sand is too overpowering especially being in the foreground of the image... i slight cropping i believe would improve this photo drammatically though thats my honest opinion its hard to say without seeing the results... congratulations though on a gr8 photo

Good photo! I love lighthouses, and I like the way the grass is growing in the sand. The only problem I have is the subject. It's sort of obscured by that large tree. I don't know how to improve it, unless there was a different angle to still include the dune or another like it while getting more of the beautiful lighthouse. 6

This is a really neat picture. I like the feel of the cozy house being tucked away from the beach. It is beautifully clear, and the colors are great. I gave this an 8.

I like the way this makes me think of holidays by the sea and of a little private hideaway. Nice choice to make the sand so prominent. 7 (//www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=129433)

Great colors here... there's a bit of a halo where the trees and sky meet, but beyond that, the deep blue sky balances nicely against the light sand. Moving the composition down just a bit in the frame would have given the shot even better symmetry. Contrast and exposure are spot on.

pretty colors - potential jigsaw puzzle - I would like it even better with the bottom 20% and right 20% cropped out, I think - or if you moved to the right and kept the tall trees, blocked the lower house a little, and got the whole height of the lighthouse

Good colors, good lighting and well done. But I would say that I have seen better subjects.
Of course I'm being a little tough on you because this is masters...
