You met the challenge perfectly here, absolute symmetry. As many people said, the perspective is great, the viewer is toatlly led into the picture and I think your focusing enhances this. I think that a bit more contrast would have been good, perhaps boosting the blue channel would have set the tower off well. I also think that this would be great in black and white, the lighthouse and perspective has quite an eerie feel to it, with such simple composition that I think this would be great in B/W, the clouds in the sky would be excellent with high contrast. Great shot and Good luck in the next challenge.
WOW I feel soooo small looking up at your image like this. Excellent symmetry shot. Composition is just brilliant. Very well achieved and GL in this weeks challenge.
The sky and clouds are a good shape created by the symmetry. At first I was going to say the focus should have been on the top of the lighthouse rather than the base, but your way sets off the shape of the sky. Good job.
Interesting perspective. I like the way the sky looks and I think you've done well with your symmetry. Well taken and I prefer the great DOF of this pic.
