"I do enjoy going back and looking over the many photos I've taken of this lighthouse in stormy weather and finding one that I previously missed that I think is good enough to post here. Here's one I spotted recently that I'm very pleased with, hope you like it. For the record, this is a full colour image, just a grey day." — Flickr user Steve Garrington

7 Magical Light

"This one was a 'happy little accident' (as the late Bob Ross would have described it). I was hoping for a sharp silhouette of this great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) but ended up with a faint reflection of the being captured on the inner surface of my dome port, so I had to dial the exposure down some more and boost the contrast, which resulted in a "magical" quality to the sunlight breaking through the water's surface." — Flickr user George Probst
