very nice capture, but maybe a little too much post processing.

Sunset Over Garrison Lake

As a stand alone photo it's "ok" IMO. I like the way the shoreline mimics the curving lines of the clouds. This effect helps to offset the feeling of a centered composition some. As is, this image still has some strong central themes to it with the horizon bisecting the photo pretty much in half. Not being there personally I can't say whether or not I would have taken the same image, or moved in some manner to offset the sun and horizon.

Regarding the challenge theme - not too sure this is in the spirit of the challenge. Technically, I guess it fits since you are shooting toward the light. If you had a subject in the foreground (other than landscape) it might feel different.

Just my observations. Good luck in the challenge.

The bland sky may have worked in your favor on this one. The color jumps out nicely with overcast skies. This is a very good example of Anachronism IMO. Good eye to see it. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

The Rotating Lens of Cape Blanco Lighthouse

Comment by sidpixel:
I think this could have achieved more if you had been able to capture the rotating action but I do like the lens and the way the sunlight is interacting with it. In the right challenge I bet a close up of that would make for a wow image. Good luck
