excellent rendering - the richness of the tones really makes the shot - and i just love the gulls around the light

Great image, good focus and perspective. I could be wrong, but the horizon seems ever so slightly slanted to the right.

Good luck in the challenge.

This looks like a Bear image.

I'm loving the foreground.

Comment by SaraR:
I find the lack of depth to this somewhat disconcerting. Although you have used a small aperture and there is clearly a very deep depth of field, your choice of processing has flattened the image to a point that my brain struggles to accept is a photo rather than a painting. That said, I don't dislike it, but I feel I would prefer just a lighter touch on the tone-mapping to retain a little more of a photographic feel. All entirely subjective, and others may love it just as is.
