I'm suprised this didn't score higher. Still 46th out of 443 isn't bad! It's gorgeous. Love your edit of the sky and the composition is very interesting. I was one of your seven "9" votes. I would normally have commented on a vote that high during the challenge but was tied up that week.

Thanks for all your great comments!
[rant] Had hoped for a better score and placing, but seems that most users w/o camera don't have a clue about leading lines... [/rant]

I like it. The colors, the lighting and the composition, everything hangs together

nice leading line, good color. I like that the windmills in the distance offset the lighthouse in a subtlemanner.-9-

Great composition and color. The windmills on the left are lovely. And the sky--beautiful. Bet the DPC'ers are totally loving it.

Love the sweeping composition with the evening light. Wish the curve could have been closer to the light house and the sky more flaming. The windmills don't do much for me either.

Nice use of leading lines. Good perspective and composition. I like the natural colors here - not over or under saturated.
