I like it a lot!!

If I had to pick one ting to work a little more on with this shot, it would be the light beam coming from the light house. I would probably use a large, soft brush on the edges of the beam to blend it into the darker background so it looked more natural. I think the line between the light beam and the dark sky is to sharp / distinct.

Again, It's a great creation!

Welcome to the forums. That's really a fascinating image you've posted. It does just draw you into it. Very nice work and excellent editing.

What jpthomas27 said, plus the light needs to be brighter at its source, fading as it gets farther from the lighthouse. But nice use of near/far to make a dramatic scene.

Love it but also the light looks a little off. Makes me feel like i'm there though.

I like the shot, but the vignette is pulling my eye away from the photo,

Wow, great atmosphere, well done.

Totally agree when I saw it too. You don't expect to see a light beam that crisp on the edges. I would make the same selection with polygonal lasso and then feather the selection and then fill it.
