This photo was taken during one of my coolest memories ever. We were driving the Oregon coast looking at lighthouses and capes. The whole way we were awestruck by the dramatic beauty. This is the lighthouse keeper's house at the Heceta Head Lighthouse. Obviously the fog was so thick I wasn't sure I was going to get anything worth keeping. But besides the lifelong memories, I came away with two photos that I struggled with which would be my "Best of 2009".
This one was taken at the same place, but turned around facing the other direction. I think I may have used an overlay in this anyway so I couldn't have entered this version anyway, but it was my 2nd choice for Best of 2009:

Oh wow! how did I miss this wonderful photo? The very clear house and people on the foggy beach make this photo very attractive and atmospheric. I wish I lived there, I mean, in that beautiful house.
I never would have guessed that this was yours. I liked the house but I really found all the tiny people to be quite intriguing. Must have been so pretty to see in person. Congrats on doing so well in the "best of"!
And that house will have spectacular views, I'm sure! Love the fog/mist that has rolled in to create a dreamy effect on the scene - magical almost otherworldly. The people on the beach give this a sense of scale. The house standing upon the hilltop overlooking the natural beauty of the ocean...you know what this reminds me of? There are some elements in your composition that remind me of a Thomas Kinkade painting. A tad more boost in saturation would increase similarities of element in your composition and his paintings - dreamy, country or rural cottage/house, natural beauty of a nature setting, and color are the matching elements I see. I also like the cropping of the composition where it takes on a wide panoramic or cinematic view for then I get to experience the wide, sweeping beauty of the place. This would look great as a 20x24 hanging on the wall:-)
great landscapes... the fog and the clouds make an atmosphere really interesting together with a good composition makes this shot an interesting photograph.
Oh the fog and the mood. Excellent detail, wonderful perspective... and the house is so perfectly perched above the tiny little people and the gorgeous view.
Brilliant. The way the silhouettes stand out amidst the fog and that red roofed house. I remember seeing this earlier in the year but can't remember who took it. It's one of my favorites. 9
