Love the mood in the photo, dreary with almost a sense of urgency. I'm not sure but it's just any excellent shot. Wonderful!

This is really nice! The fog and very limiited color range is super effective...a wonderful sense of quietness.

The bottom third of the image is way too dark for my tastes. I want to see more detail in the silhouettes of the photographers.

Wonderfull depth to the photo, The colors are great and the lighting is beautifull. I do wish however that a little more of the people were visible. The silhouettes are all very crisp and well defined one of my top 10 picks of the challenge great Job. 9

Oh - nice. I can just see this gracing a book cover perfectly. I really like the tonal range here, as well as the composition and combined ideas. Lovely stuff. 10

Very cool. I like the sharpness of the photogs next to the softness of the lighthouse. This has a great feel to it. It really evokes the feel of the peace of dawn.

Wow, fog and the light source. many variations in depth of silhouettes. One being sharp would focus on a subject. 9
