Hi Mark, I also like your composition a lot, and I also made a workshop -
I would disagree with Tom that it is too dark, in my opinion it is mostly the contrast/saturation/noise issue. I also made a workshop, hopefully you like my version as well.
Regards,

Boris

This is a pretty good shot Mark, nice composition. It just needed the contrast and levels adjusting a bit as per Boris's excellent workshop.

Some notes would help though.

Mark,
I like your composition here very much. Without the adjustments the photo has a very different mood than after it has been altered. I really like the original version and Boris' version, both have their merits.
Thanks for a great photo of the wonderful lighthouse.
Asa

Hello Mark
No your composition is not so dark.
It's ok with my flat screen, but it's not sufficient sharp.
The best WS is Boris one.
Cheers.

I am inclined to agree with DIDI. I don't think it's too dark for the place and the mood, but some sharpening would make it much better. The composition is excellnt.
