| Great picture--I was curious about whether you used a polarizing (or other) filter or otherwise did anything 'special' to obtain such outstanding results. |

| Well. I have to say I don't remember seeing this one and I am not quite sure how thats possible since it's just awesome. Well I am sure its safe to say I probably gave this a 10 and I am adding this to my list of favorites. Once again, very nice job and congrats on the 2nd place... |

Neil, I am just so impressed with this image, I cant tell you. Is it possible you could let me know which lens, at what length, what would the equivalent be in 35mm photography and is it straight from the camera, or what did you do to it?
I have not got a digital slr, and dont seem to be able to get this sort of result, but I would love to get a big print of this.
I note it is from a Canon 350d, and wondered how big you can go without pixellation
Congratulations - Well worth whatever good comments you got |

| Great image: excellent composition, exposure, subject, lighting, DOF, and colour. Well done. The only drawback to me is the white pin stripe around the border: to me it 'encloses' the image too much when it is a subject that is so broad and deep. I would have just stuck with the black or none at all. I don't detract marks for borders though - just a suggestion... |

| I remember seeing this earlier in the year, but I don't remember when or who owns it. I just remember it being an image that I wish was part of my own portfolio. It's beautiful... 10 |

| This is an awesome image! Very, very strong composition. The rugged, sweeping foreground leads my eye very nicely to the lighthouse, with a lot of interest on the way. The lighting is beautiful, that with the white of the building against all the predominant neutral tones really make the subject stand out strongly. Very well done, great entry for this challenge :-) |

| Wow! I look at this and think, "My mother would absolutely love that!" It is a favorite place to visit whenever I've been in Maine. The light and texture, the extrme angle of view, just wonderful how it all works together! Superb! (...and, thank you for sharing it.) |

| I can't remember if this is you Neil. I really still think the exposure is excellent on this one, whether done in-camera or post- with RAW. 8 |

| I like the composition, but the sky seems overdone and out of place when compared to the ground. I really like the exposure and depth on the ground. |

| When I give a photo a 10, it is because I feel it is wonderfual all the way around. Therefore, I have no real comment other than to say I gave you a 10! |

| Surreal photo! The detail everywhere is great, and the exposure is spot on. Did you use multiple exposures from the same raw file for it? However it was done, it looks excellent! |
