i like it very much.

i would try to push a little more color in the clouds, if you could do so naturally. (maybe even darkening the entire sky would help...)

and it looks like the lighthouse is leaning a tad right... although maybe it is in real life...

love the long exposure effect on the water.

thanks for sharing.

Hey Ken,

You have the makings of a great shot here. Just follow what Dan has suggested, and this one will sing.

Very nice..

Increasing the color saturation very slightly might be nice but not enough to overdo it. I don't think I'd want to darken anything. It probably prints up perfectly just the way it is though..

Hi Ken ,

Nice work ! Is this the one at Whitley Bay on the NE coast of England ? Looks just right to me for a winter sunset ; I can never quite understand the urge to saturate colours as posted . I would be inclined to leave this restful pastel rendering just as it is !

You're right Adrian, saturation is often overdone. I've never seen the place and the clouds to me are perfect, it was just the buildings and grounds seemed like they may possibly be lacking something. But as I said, I've never seen the lighthouse myself.

Hi Ken. I also like this as is. Given the light on the lighthouse and island, the soft pastels of the sky look just right to me.
Beautifully lit image!!
