Nice shot with great definition in your trails. Though think its to much dead space in the bottom part and your image could benefit a lot from cropping that away.

I agree you could perhaps crop the bottom a bit, and maybe a small amount of painting the lighthouse with a torch or something to bring it out a little, but otherwise a cracking shot!! :)

I like it very much.

I just downloaded your image on my Mac and just bringing up the tower light and reducing the noise was perfect. I did not wanted to post my version as I think it is a bit harsh to do so.

You may want to try that.

Great shot and composition

Thanks for the comments! It was a long and bitter cold 75 minutes. Next time I will definitely try to "paint" the lighthouse better. I thought about doing it with my 580ex-II but I couldn't feel my fingers anymore to push the buttons!
