Southerness Point Lighthouse, Dumfries in the Western Border region of Scotland - taken in typical Scottish weather, overcast and damp. Please...no comments about how I should have used a CP to cut the glare on the water, I'm still kicking myself for not doing so!:(

Good shot. Don't own a cp filter myself, so you will not hear any critisism from me on that point.

As nice as that was it ? :)

And rightly so.
I would always use a CP in such circumstances David.
Well, almost always....usually..... I think. :o :o

Still a great shot.

Only thing is the lighthouse looks wonkey (technical term). Was it bending in the middle or curve from the lense?

It's the lighthouse - if you look at Cameron's image you will see a slight bend close to the top - however, it does seem more pronounced from the angle I shot at.

Very nice, I like the subtle reflection and the overall composition.

Thanks for the comment Trevor, I suppose I asked for that one, for all the times that I've said the same to you. :lol:
