Yet another beautiful shot of the lighthouse. You always seem to nail the beauty of it all. Congratulations on your top 20 finish. I knew this would score well!

Wow, I had to take my hand off of the alt button so I could give this a 10... Simply amazing shot, should be a ribbon. Lastly, you'd better post how you took this shot and what you used... :)

This is a nice photo, My eyes are somewhat pulled to the lines in the concrete at the bottom, perhaps it is just me, or a tighter crop might work better, crop just above the seperations in the concrete at bottom and then about an equal amount from the left side. otherwise this is very cool.

Oh I recognize this place from several winter-shots of this place when the sea was rough. Very different mood in this one. Makes me think of "Gattaca" for some reason. Well done.

A solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. A top ten image and a very strong contender for a ribbon. Well done.
