I'm going to go with Kayaker's "Nubble Sunrise" for the fantastic sky gradient in addition to the lighthouse silhouette.

cls, the shot is nice but the slightly OOF grasses in front and back make it a bit too busy for my tastes. Love the bug up top though.

Jayson, this is one of the "landscapes I don't get" shots (which is 95% of landscapes!). There's a nice clear reflection, but the nearly overcast sunrise/sunset isn't doing anything for me. The rocks are a leading line, leading to... a generic shore. The log up front isn't prominent enough to be a foreground itself, it's just something that's there. I see a lighthouse and boat masts in the distance, but they're not prominent enough to be the subject, and the water looks more like a shallow river or pond than anything that would belong with the lighthouse and boats. I just don't get it. Sorry.

Sean. Technically good. Nice and sharp where it matters with thin DOF. I don't get what the wedding ring on old rusted railroad spikes is trying to symbolize. It doesn't look like a good omen for the bride, unless, perhaps she's marrying a railroad engineer.

Jamsus. I'm jealous that you've got spring, but the bird is too obscured by branches to see much detail.

Actually, she is marrying a railroad engineer. :-)

Congrats Brant!
