2 exposure HDR using Photomatix.
This is the second challenge in a row I've had to take my photo from underneath an umbrella - good old England!
BTW "Land's End" is just a title and should not be confused with the real Lands End which is in Cornwall.

Thrilled to get a ribbon for this so thanks for all the votes and positive comments - always very much appreciated.
I'm amazed that the second and third places in this challenge are taken at the same location.
I did not take this shot with the 'Landscape' challenge in mind. I was actually out taking shots around Liverpool but it seemed a shame not to call at this lighthouse when it was so nearby.
I chose this shot because it showed more land than sea and because the centred composition was different to my other lighthouse shots

Might be the winner! Wonderfully done. I was going back and forth with my entry from color to B&W. This really works very well in B&W. The tones and depth are fabulous without being overdone. The only thing that seems out of place in the image are the wind turbines.
I like the almost glowing approach. I also like the lighthouse not being perfectly centered. The rocky foreground with the water etched rocks makes for nice leading lines to the structure/horizon.
