Congrats on the blue. Your photo has made me incredibly homesick. I used to go to Vaucluse Boys High School situated about 400m from the light house. The Macquarie Lighthouse was our school emblem and our motto 'Lumen Scientia'. I am writing this from an incredibly crappy place in Iraq. When I come home next year I'll resume my interrupted photography learning. Congrats again and well done.

The contrast in this picture is astounding. It really highlights many different aspects of this picture, but doesn't overdo it. It really helps to focus the main idea of this picture.

Really beautiful. The glow on the clouds, lighthouse and sky add a wonderful mystical quality to this shot.

Congratulatons, it's a terrific capture. I didn't know there were such lighthouses still in Sydney (but then I'm not a Sydneysider...)
Post actions

This isn't really black & white... it's gotta be blue or red! 10

The cloud formations add a lot to this image. Maybe could of been a tad brighter but it's well captured none the less. Good luck!
Post actions

i love the clarity of this image, the sky is AMAZING!
Post actions
Excellent work. The clouds do their part to further enhance the use of B&W.
Post actions
This shot is incredible. The clouds add such an extreme effect to this image. Excellent job. 10
Post actions
Very powerful image here, and I love the dramatic sky, with those clouds.....
Post actions
perhaps a tad underexposed.
Post actions
Those clouds are bizarre - look so close and artificial- I think that will bump the score up here. Almost like the image is divided into two worlds, one mundane and one imaginary.
Post actions
Hey - where did you get those clouds? Is there some place I can buy those? This rocks! Back to bump you to 8.
Post actions
Great capture of the sky on this one. The fine curve along the back edge of the clouds from the left to right side of the composition with the fairly unblemished background make this one a 10.
Post actions
A starnge photo - the sky seems somehow seperate from the rest of the photo. Nonetheless, as a black and white photo it utilises the full range of shades from b through to w, and is earning an 8 from me.
Post actions
Oh the clowds are impressive... like 3D.

Super lighting. Looks surreal. Love it. 10
Post actions
incredible sky...great shot!

Back for a second look and definatly bumping up. Love the sky the beautiful highlights and shadows make it outstanding. Love the lighting on the tower. My only complaint is the flat black foregound. Maybe if you had cropped a little higher this wouldn't have been a distraction to the rest of the beautiful image.
