The lighthouse at Port Dalhousie, which I've photographed before. This is an HDR in the dead of winter, ice everywhere. It's pretty heavily edited, I'm sure you can tell. :D
Equal parts Photomatix, Nik Color and Silver EFEX, sharpening, noiseware, etc.

...an hour or so until rollover.
Thanks for the great comments. A new PB, if the scrubber doesn't take me down too far. Wonder if it's enough for a 2nd ribbon? There were some great shots in this challenge, I handed out two 9's and eleven 8's...we shall see!
post Blue? I'm humbled. 95 challenges and three and a half years since my last ribbon...thanks everyone! It was worth the frostbite. :-D

My apologies, I must've been tired when I voted, because this somehow escaped under the radar and got an average vote. On my second pass through I found this gem of a photo. Absolutely love it! Great photo - just love the detail in the rocks and ocean! Upgraded to an 8 :)
Great. 10. To me this image goes beyond "the lighthouse", "the lonely tree", "the cat", "the dog" .... touching the core of the idea. Again, just like a Conrad story.
Bravo! I love the conversion and I'm sure you are going to tell me its with Silver EFX which makes me sad because it's expensive and I want it...9 Back to bump to a 10. One of my top 2.
Extraordinary processing. Can't tell if I love it or hate it. Can't tell if it's negative or positive. Just very, very strange. No vote at this point, just doing a first scan of entries, but wanted to say *something* :-)
