Nice. Was this taken with your rectilinear lens? This is gorgeous. I like the low angle. You can still see the jetty.

Jeff E Jensen 		  Yup, taken with the 14mm, and, it is actually a stitch of about 14 images, so it gives some funky distortions to the Jetty and to the distant shoreline.

Sorry, this is not an HDR image, it is 14 images, shot vertically and then stitched together as a panorama. If you've never been there, you'd probably have no idea that the hill that is on the left of the frame is almost straight east from where I stood, and the mountains that you can see in the far distance in about the center of the frame are actually south west of where I stood. In this image, the rocks on the left and the rocks on the right of the frame look like they come together where I'm standing. In reality, they run in an almost straight line. I've included a second image of the Jetty for comparison.
