I must say to start that this is a stunning image. The colours are magnificent and you have still managed to capture detail in the lighthouse and the rocks in the foreground rather then end up with a silhouette against the sunlit sky.
The square(ish) format suits the picture along with the white frame around it and the verse and picture go well together. I only have one problem - the horizon really spoils what could be a perfect picture. Given the December rule set and assuming the picture couldn't be taken again, a quick minor adjustment in PS could have done the trick...

It did the trick, but thanks anyway. Corrected crooked horizon and reframed with larger borders and text on two lines instead of three.
 NOW available as a print!

I voted this a 9 and I am pleased for you that you achieved two ambitions
I have yet to crack the 7 even though I have achieved 4th
It's a beautiful photo and I guess the only reason it didnt win a ribbon is because there were a lot of amazing posters
Good luck to you in 2004 |

Thanks for the vote folks.
Well, I must say I'm pretty happy with results. I attained two of the goals I had set out for myself on DPC in 2004:
1) I finally got a top-10 finish
2) I got one of my submissions to crack the magical 7.0 barrier.
The "cherry on top" would have been a ribbon.
Thanks for all the comments. I plan on re-doing this poster for a print available through DPCPrints.
EDIT: And oh yeah, I'll be straightening out that crooked horizon too. Always check that from now on. Live and learn

| Very nice, one of my top rated. Do not like the white line around the photo, I think I would have chosen the same color as the font color, or very close. The white is somewhat distracting to me. I would also like to have seen the width of the black border be a bit wider. |

Very well done.
Quickly on ething I do not like is the square format but that is minor. I think a horizontal or panorama shot would have been great. |

| One of the top ones! Like the metaphor of the lighthouse, it compliments the quote and the title. Minor suggestion - the font/size of the font for the quote could be bigger/kept to two lines/type set differently. Something about it is a smidge off. 9 |

| Good lighting, maybe ensure the horizon is a little more level. Just a slight uneveness |

| Beautiful photo. I like the lighthouse as a not-quite-silhouette, with the windows discernable. Good composition and poster layout. A sailboat would have fit the text better. |

| Beautiful capture, great color, layout, borders, etc. Nice selection of font placement, size, etc. Great quote ( You should have given credit for that to Oliver Wendell Holmes ). |

| It is not in which direction we are moving, but whether we straighten up our horizon. |

| Bravo. Compliments to you. Text is a bit small. Maybe it needs quotes and the author? Still a dandy shot. |

| For me, too much text, with a title that's too small. Nice composition, though I'd like to have seen more light on the lighthouse and a straighter horizon. Given the flexibility of the December rule set, I'd also have changed the color of the green beacon as it distracts a little. |

| I personnaly find the image more fitting to something like "standing strong and guiding others", but I like your choice as well. |

| Beautiful, simple, clean. Stands out from some of the more busier posters. Colours are very nice, lovely contrast. Border OK. The text (the main word) could have been a bit larger (but just a tiny bit). You've done great job with this. |
