For me the people distract from the forms and I'd have worked the angles with fence and lighthouse, maybe trying some from different heights as well - close to the ground, using arms over the head for a higher vantage point. Of course you might have done this. I know my own failure is to not work an image enough, especially one that's as static as a fence and lighthouse. I also think this first image has the most depth and contrast, the other images have a flat feeling to them, at least to my eye. Adam On 10/3/05, Richard S.
