I live in snow country(MinniSnowda) and can imagine waking up to that and having 15 minutes to get to work! What a wonderfully simple picture with a such a huge impact.

reminds me of a musical conductor. Pretty interesting. I think it would be more striking if the cloud formation was normal and not following the curve that was manipulated.

HI. I was one of the givers of 5.
What I noticed about this is that the lights are too light. There seems to be a section on the value scale that is missing. Mostly in the mid to light grays. To me that made the picture seem both flat and harsh. I didn't mind the bench being so removed from the light house but the area between the two seems unattractive especially the section with the sign and whatever the wooden outline is. As for the border, I think the majority of voters on this site might knock off a point for it.
You have some fantastic lighthouse pictures that I'm sure anyone would be proud to have hanging on their walls.

Godd camera exposure control. With the attitude and the energy you display, no doubt you will be famous. Good luck.

I've been looking at this again and was thinking that if it had a vertical ratio the idea of height would be exaggerated and I think that is what I'm missing.

I like this even better now that I see you did use a piece of metal. Good catch. Sorry you didn't place higher. What I find most interesting is that you caught a police car and a bus. Sorta like cops and robbers! Well, maybe it's a cab, but don't tell me, I'd rather think it's a cop.

I like this the better than Twisted Forest II. The colors are richer and the contrast not as harsh. I think I would like it even better if you could go back at a darker time of day. It seems to just shout out for a dark and moody atmosphere. BTW, do you see the face looking down from the 1/3 top right intersection?

I agree about the lighting. Did you try cropping down to just the flower? I think with the amount of detail you have it would make an interesting abstract.
