 Before the development of clearly defined ports mariners were guided by fires built on hilltops. Since raising the fire would improve the visibility, placing the fire on a platform became a practice that led to the development of the lighthouse. In antiquity, the lighthouse functioned more as an entrance marker to ports than as a warning signal for reefs and promontories, unlike many modern lighthouses.

I find the processing of this image is a little overdone, giving the entire image a fake feel to it. This is most evident in the foreground water and the coast line. While it may have been the effect you were after, it doesn't work for me. I like the subject. Perhaps a little extra space on the right might have balanced the shot a little better

A competant image that is properly framed and composed - a technical success in several ways - an image evocative of most modern impressionists. From an artistic standpoint, it is very dramatic with interesting details and a rather good mix of sky and cloud with the very slight color. Each image has to be evaluated on it's own merits and this sets it'self apart due to it's unigue presentation. A very worthy entry into the challenge and a potential top ten image.

great scene. I'd like to see a composition that gives the shot a bit more depth as this is fairly two dimensional
