The leading lines are VERY direct here! It's a nice composition, with the positioning of the light house really well thought out, but you've managed to angle the horizon to bisect the picture plane at almost the exact middle...This would have been much stronger if you'd been able to hold your camera higher (my husband actually has a step ladder in his trunk for this type of thing), so that the horizon line would be a bit lower...Rule of Thirds, don't 'cha know...

Thanks MossyB - yep its frustrating about the horizon, I wanted to keep the lighthouse in the thirds and the line trying to be a diagonal lead it, but just couldn't get the horizon right as well.

Beautiful, and the image is so strong, that you tend to overlook the horizon.
Howdie stranger!
