| Just a fantastic shot. I hope this does very well. Posing myself as the guidebook edirtor, here is what I would ask you to do before we went the print. The hard white reflections on the front of the house and the outbuilding should be toned down to match the reflection from the lighthouse. The propane tank (or car), to the left of the outbuilding should be removed. The white dot in the foreground, possibly a sheep, should be removed, as well as the log floating in the calm water above it. There are some distracting white dots on the downhill side of the white outbuilding, three that look like reflections from a road or path that should be blended into the hillside, and one on the wall of building at waters edge. Below the main house, amost to the waters edge there is a long straight something, mabe a pipeline or fence that could be removed by cloning in hillside. I would also ask that you brighten the light reflections in the snowcaps. I'm cheering for a medal for you here. 9 |

| Perhaps this would have been more striking if closest bit of land (bit dull) had been cropped out....or pic taken in a position to include more water there. |

| Yeah, guide-book photography for sure. I guess in that sense you meet the challenge absolutely. And yet I can't help but be influnenced by the shots I've seen previous to this - those are the perils of being voted on in this manner. Somehow, that foreground golf course is an invidious element. nature tamed. the shot sets out to propose a life on the edge of the wilderness (that wonderful haze across the feet of the mountains, and the cragginess of them, and the bleakness of the show and sharp promontories there), and yet the hugely boring and suburban manicuring of a golf-course alonside it seems here to provide only a comment on man's inability to leave well alone, these days. Perhaps that is only the modern connotations of golf, child of the television that it is, and far removed from the battle against the elements that were its foundations ... but it certainly undermines the suggestion of loneliness of this scene at first view. |

| Really a postcard shot. Very nice looking photo. I so see some haze, but not sure how to correct that other then shoot on a day when the air is very clear. I run into this same problem when shooting foothills. Love your entry hope you do well. |

| Nice, maybe a bit oversharpened. A haze filter would perhaps have helped to get more definition in the background. |
