This is the lighthouse of Corpach, at the entrance of the sea lock. Weather conditions were terrible this day and the original picture was not great.
For processing of the RAW file I pushed levels in Adobe Camera RAW (maybe a bit too much, but I like gritty), did some D&B on PE9, cloned out a lantern next to the lighthouse and cropped the picture.

First scores went up to 6.5000, then dropped. Stabilized on 6.0000 and went up a little bit. We'll wait and see.

Bouncing between 6.10 and 6.20, quite good I think. And some wonderful remarks of some of the top photographers of DPC, really great!

This is wonderful. Not just an off-centered subject, but leading lines that take you there. I'd hang it on my wall.

excellent composition to use the walkway to pull the viewer in - i just wonder about the exposure and contrast - it seems pushed a bit too hard

An excellent example of using lead-in lines to get to the point of this challenge. Very DMC.
