A wonderful sunset at Pigeon Point Lighthouse. Didn't think I was going to get much of a shot due to some haze on the horizon and lack of clouds overhead. But, as chance (or luck) would have it, just 15-20 min before sunset the haze lifted and THERE WERE a few clouds.
I was trying for some longer exposures, this one was only 2 seconds, for the desired effect.
It might not do well but I love this image and I guess that's what matters!....right?
EDITING/PP? WHAT EDITING?!! This has been one of my least edited images. See steps below
#1 Add border
#2 USM
#3 Resize
#4 USM again
It is basically straight out of the camera.
Score prediction? Can I squeeze out a 6.0+? I'd like to think so!
Here are a few of my outtakes:

Beautiful - congrats on the personal best, an excellent finish in a free study, and I love that it's unedited - what a gorgeous moment in time to capture.
I almost want to say its too dark...but I still really really like it. It makes it feel like its a place with beautiful scenery, but also quite frightening. (8)
I still love to see beautiful sunsets and sunrises and this is one of them. The contrast is just right, my eyes went directly to the sky because of the dark almost silhouetted landscape.
