Very nice! Has a stormy feel to it. Shadows add to the atomospheric feel. BTW... where is the dog?????? #917564

Thanks Pat, Dave, and Jeff. This lighthouse was in a little central square sort of thing and the perspectives were limited, so I'm pleased to hear that you like the one I chose. Messed with it a bit, of course. :) Pat, you'd think, wouldn't you, that I'd have a ton of photos up of new Sammi puppy? But noooo, not yet. Yes, Dave, see you tomorrow in KC! I think we're going to have some rain and maybe some chilly stuff, but what the hey, we'll have some fun anyway. #5900845

Wow!!! Terrific composition, Mitch. I really admire the contrast of the horizontal lines of the buildings with the vertical lines of the lighthouse. Great use of the lighting, too!!! #5935206

Mitch Spence level-classic May 17, 2008

Amalia, thank you. Amalia, I imagine if you were in the little town of Post Isabel, you were on South Padre Island as well. And, Phil, thank you too. As I said, the perspectives were very limited, and this one worked the best for me. Glad to hear it worked for you too. #5935333
