Spectacular shot, Mike. I love the backlit clouds sailing over the lighthouse. The many diagonals give the image a lot of energy and perspective. And the color is gorgeous!

Wow. Mike, you gone and done it this time didn't you. I cannot believe 33 views and only 1 comment. It's gorgeous!!! You should put this in ES&S. Nobody would know the difference. This needs to be seen (scene).

Man I don't even have to open up your beach images any more... I can tell they're yours just from the thumbnail. They always have a well thought out composition and sprinkled with rich wonderful colors. This is no exception. No complaints here.

Beautiful composition and the timing is just right on the sun. No nits from me.

Georgous shot Mike! Beautiful rich color and a wonderful coastal scene. The center horizon seems to be jagged and since I don't know the area, is that landmass to the left of Tillamook Rock Lighthouse causing the effect?

Now that I see this on a good monitor it looks like wave action I was seeing.

Very dramatic and beautiful! Love the shiny water in the foreground. Great work, Mike!

Oh my. This is fabulous. The reflection in the sand is stunning. I wish the rock on the left wasn't cut off.
