Lighthouse in BW

[silversldr]

Converted this picture to BW. It may be a little extreme, but I like it. Your thoughts.

It's very interesting; it is extreme for me. Also, I feel like the horizon is a bit off.

I like! It seems VERY dark out on the water in contrast to the almost glowing cliff face and clouds, but overall I think it's a great shot.

I think that is what i really like about the composition...The water looks VERY dark/scary/dangerous, while the lighthouse is almost glowing... gives a very nice contrast to the water.

I like it!!

Do you think I should lesson up on the water? I am looking at this from my work pc and having a little bit of difficulty picking up the horizon. Not sure if it is just this monitor though.

The top of the building slants down to the right, that's the only way I could tell. I feel like I'm tipping over.

If it's possible to lighten up the lower right corner, I think it would help. JMO.

12mnkys has a point, but personally I would like a little more light over there...the top of the clouds are SO bright that it looks odd to me that the there would not also be a slight reflection off the water from the same light source; it's behind the clouds, in the shadow of the clouds if you will, that i would expect the storm's dark side, and in fact you do get that effect already which I think is perfect...but that's just my opinion, and you know what that's worth! :p :)

Fix the slant and it would be awesome.
