Great location, Steamie, but there's something a bit odd about the far end of the cliffs... like there's no contrast, or maybe an HDR-type effect. Dunno... but it detracts from the pic (for me, anyway... )
"End Of The Road"
Thanks very much TommyD, Doylem, Father Jack & Kayes.
This one was also taken during my little trek on Saturday around the Scottish North coast.
Dunnet head is the most Northerly point on the British mainland anything above this is really just wee island's + the Orkneys and the Shetlands (which used to belong to Norway anyway).
Great Photo, even with the modern houses in the background.
I really like this one as well.

Seeing as this is a hot topic at the moment it would be sensible to suggest starting a thread over at Site and Forum Feedback, the correct place for things like this.
We like to hear members views about such issues, one point worth noting is that this thread is viewed by many who don't comment and I would like to invite all those who a.) participate in this thread b.) view this thread to comment there. Once someone has started the thread it would be best to post a link in here as well inviting members to comment.
Here is the link to the thumbnail <timg> tag topic in the "site and forum feedback" section:
Should the use of <timg> tags be allowed when quoting images in "Photo of the Day"
I do agree this is not a discussion thread. However this is THE place to inform the users/members of this thread that the rules for quoting have been changed and explaining them why. Considering this thread has been going on like this since iGary started it almost 2 years ago (May 27, 2006).

Just picking up the slack for Doylem, here.
Thank you Roco. Most of the time, I get the best action shots from various competitions that occur year round. This last one was taken at an Eastern Surfing Association contest at Sebastian Inlet Saturday. I do not know who this particular girl is, but I know people who do, and I won't hesitate to approach her and tell her about her pics once I find out where to contact her. I have met a lot more surfers by since I started offering my services, and not one has complained because I took a killer photo of them! Often parents approach me while I'm shooting pics to get my card and tell me which grommet belongs to them. It's been the neatest part of the whole thing getting involved in the 'network' next to letting these talented young stars have a look at themselves shredding in the water... their myspace is loaded with my images lol. I really only charge money when someone wants one printed for now.srf4real, your photos are always great!
One question I have always been curious about is, do you know the surfers? Or do you simply take photos of any surfer you see?
I am always quite shy about taking photos of people I don't know.
