Sambro Lighthouse in the Distance

Sorry, but putting something in the title doesn't make it the subject. The subject pretty clearly is the rock and spray. Aside from that, though, I think the vertical orientation detracts from the power of the water. A wide view would grab me more.

Why put a landsxape shot into a portrait orientation? Not working for me. The image seems to have quite strong JPG artifacts - the sky shouldn't be choppy like that. Which is too bad, because the image itself is nice.

Intriguing! Is the sun below the clouds, creating shadows on their undersides?

I definitely give you credit for telling a story vs. many of the other entries. But the concept "memoir" to me means something about yourself, not just any story.

As for the image, I agree with James that it seems more like an experiment that a sad moment. I don't mind the color - firelight's very warm.

But the lack of emotion means I'm not especially drawn in.

As usual, I like your style. :) I also appreciate the memoirness of the title.

Since you asked for comments in the scores thread ... I voted this a 6, primarily on the strength of the photo. But the title didn't say "memoir" to me; rather, it was simply a description of the photo.

One of my two 10s, because you actually told a story and then illustrated it beautifully. Congrats, and even better, you now have a spectacular memory of a special moment in a special place.
