I can see why this is your favorite lighthouse! Beautifully captured against the blue sky and wispy clouds. The lighthouse appears to have good detail, but the house on left looks a little blown out. I would also suggest lightening up the rocks in the darkest areas to bring out detail and crop in from the left. I'm guessing you wanted to keep the flagpole in the shop, but it doesn't add a lot to the image. Very nice photo of an iconic landmark!   Posted: 07/04/2026 00:10:15

Adding to Suzanne's comments, perhaps crop a bit from the sides (no flagpole) and top to bring more attention to the lighthouse. The horizon doesn't look level to me.   Posted: 07/08/2026 19:57:07
