Sometimes less is more, and I definitely think it is the case with this image. That awesome beam of light is fabulous and takes the viewer to the lighthouse and although only a small section has been shown here, it matters not. Thank you for entering this contest.

What a wonderful feeling of space and fresh air you get from looking at this image. I can almost feel the wind rushing past me and making me catch my breath. Beautifully clear and crisp and the clouds are perfection. No harsh or over editing tricks have been used here but just sublime image taking. Well done on evoking such feelings when I look at this.

It's lovely to see something different here. I've never seen anything like it. I love the unfussy nature of this image and the lighthouse just looms in front of you shrouded in mist. I like the fact the photographer has kept it dead centre which works really well here. Thank you for entering this contest.

What I really like about this image is that gorgeous reflection. It gives the whole thing wonderful depth and the photographers editing is beautiful. Stunning clarity and super smooth clouds really focuses your eye on the lighthouse and its striking colours. Well done and thank you for entering this contest.

To me this lighthouse looks like a stick of rock! How delightful is this to look at? I love the striking red roof and the gorgeous clouds you have captured. A lovely clutter free image and thank you for entering this as it's so good to see something unusual.

As soon as I saw this image I was hooked. Its got a wonderful moody atmosphere to it and so much depth. It gives the viewer an amazing sense of movement as if you are being brought back and forth on these waves. It's very subtle which is a refreshing change to oversaturated images I've seen. Thank you for entering this contest.

A fabulous long exposure for the clouds which totally draws you in! The contrast of the swirls on the lighthouse really grabs the viewer's attention. Wonderful texture on the foreground rocks and all perfectly exposed. Black and white is the perfect way to showcase this lighthouse. Thank you for entering this contest.

I'd love to be able to get a shot like this. Superb action that has been brilliantly captured. The wave has crashed over the wall and yet the photographer has still managed to get it all in the shot! Well done for being brave enough to get this incredible shot and thank you for entering this contest.

I have always had a love of Lighthouses. In this contest I'd like to see your beautiful shots of Lighthouses from any angle, black or white. Feel free to put up just the light itself or the inside of one. The only thing I ask is that you put where it is. I look forward to your entries.

I love this image as its most unusual with its subject matter. I have never seen a view like this and it's very refreshing! Wonderful fog to give everything a graceful elegance and a softness to the image. There has been no over editing, it's absolutely stunning. Many thanks for entering this contest.
