Your thoughts ?

I like it. My only 'tiny' question would be to burn down the clouds in the top right just a tiny bit for a little more texture. It may be quite all right in a full size pic the way it is.

I like this shot... I hope you do not take ofence but I did a very quick and dirty re-make in PS. Just to show you a different cropping option. I cloned a little bit extra on the left and raised the sky a little... Other than that suggestion I really like the shot

I agree totally with gkas Other than the clouds being blown on the upper right the shot is excellent. Comp is great. What gucio321 does this image absolutely no justice. Sorry gucio321. This is in fact a critique forum.

That's OK CONK I do not mind critique... as you know what people like is very subjective...his image was a good one as I have already stated..I simply offered an alternate crop..one that I would have done...just a different composition..aperently mine sucks :D ..that's how we learn though.

Cameron,
Its a great image, nice composition and it makes my eyes seek out the details of everything which is in the picture.

One thing I've noticed is that there seems to be a slight "blue cast" (could be my monitor) to the rocks of the cliffs, perhaps a slight adjustment of the blue curve. I would also clone some of that cloud back in as already mentioned and possibly just add a little extra contrast +5 or so.

However, that's just me being picky - its great and I'm jealous!

Cheers
David

Beautiful shot. I'd like to see one of just the lighthouse and grounds nice
and sharp with your wide angle.

Thanks all for the critique and kind words, very much appreciated.

Rick, this is the only other shot I have of the lighthouse and grounds.

I do like the original photo, however, it seems to be much more aesthetically pleasing if you crop it where the "divide" in the hill is. It is a bit distracting to have both that crevice and the lighthouse in one frame.
