Nice shot. I like the angle you shot from. Great focus.

Decent shot. House on the left side is a distraction.

I agree but there were no practical options to fix it. Cropping tighter would have squeezed the lighthouse (or even cut off part of it) and it is too big to "edit" out using lightroom.

It is a WWII fire control tower for directing artillery fire from a nearby fort.

The only other option was to move to another location and hide it behind the light... like the image below, but that is a different picture.
