Bill

From a stroll around the lighthouse at Portland Bill near Weymouth. Incidentally, while in Portland, it is not done to speak the word Rabbit.

A very stricking bold image. Nice work.

Beware all those that cannot be named:

A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:

Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

A photo as I like it. Minimalism, contrast and sea element, all to make it successful.

Funny - I saw the comments from the 3:1 group, and thought it must be to do with how you use thirds (in terms of spaces and colours) in the composition (which is nicely done here - I like it), but that group is more prosaic.

This one caught my eye because of the symmetry and the color partitioning (don´t know if this is the right word, sorry!). It´s very harmonic for me.

Thanks for your comment.
