Here's my version, Pramote:

My knees REALLY hurt after this shot!  Every time the wind died down to get the clear reflection, someone walked into the picture near the lighthouse! When they FINALLY left, the wind would pick up and blur the water. Fifteen minutes later, it all came together.

The perspective makes it look like you're scaling the cliff en route to a fortress!  Which, against the waves, I guess it is.  Love how the house on the left is has one 'eye' half open, peeking down on the viewer.

Fabulous use of the foreground to give perspective to the subject of the image Pramote.
Boy, if I was teaching photographic composition your work would make for some great object lessons.
Every one would be inspirational as well as educational - unbeatable!

Personally, I take great pleasure in viewing your images and feel very privileged to have the opportunity.

Fantastic! I love the reflection. Pramote

Nice tones.  Interesting angle.  I like the white matting.  How did you do that?

C'mon!! Everyone knows he holds a mat up in front of the camera while he is shooting!! ;D ;D

Thanks very much Alan!
There probably are faster ways. I've used photoshop to generate the frame (by using canvas size - gray-->white--->gray).
Please let me know if you want details.
