 Took this photo whilst on the Great Ocean Road in Australia. If your ever here, you've gotta go... best driving :) Iniitally I planned to do a HDR, but i didn't like the way it looked, so I decided to give sky editing a go. basically masked out sky, and worked it with gradients, then did the usual stuff, then added a little yellow tinge for sunset look.

Editing
- noise ninja
- clone out fence and signs
- little dodge on clouds
- gradient overlay with mask so only sky affected
- levels with oval marquee to give vignetting
- curves, selective colour
- solid colour with selective application to add yellow tinge
- NN again
- selectively sharpened building

Really impressive: has the look of a postcard about it. Lovely.

Wow that's tall. A little dark in the upper right corner but still a beauty

right upper hand corner is a bit too dark, but otherwise, this is a beautiful photo!

Impressive - exposure is spot on, though these days perhaps that's less impressive than it once was. Suspicion of some heavy-handed darkening of sky, but overall good use of weirdness of lens in producing this image.

There are some great images in this challenge and this is one of them. Can't really find much wrong.

There's something about lighthouses that are so beautiful and dramatic. This is a nice angle to see of one. It would make a great perspective photo too.
