I have a pretty dramatic perspective of this light house and a palm tree, I would have rather entered but I didn't notice a water droplet on my lens until after I took it off my camera. But with 6th place I'm happy.
Thank you all for your comments & votes.

What makes this always stationary object a strong subject for a stationary challenge is the movement caused by the wind in the grass and the tree. The placement of the light house in the center of the composition works well in this image because of the tree. At first I thought the image could use a little straightening; however, I believe it is an optical illusion caused by the shadows. Although the person adds perspective to the image, he does provide a distraction, as my eyes keep trying to see a little more detail in him. Very nice image.
Love the color contrast in this one. The single tree and the brown wild grass give the feeling of the wind in motion. Very well captured. And of course, the sole person at the base.
palmtree is a bit too dark in the shadows, image is slightly tilted to the left. Portrait crop - some millimeters right of the human - had been matching the subject better
