I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

excellent work.what about playing with contrasting colur// In this, orange would be a good choice to empahsize "cool" aspect of scene.could put some orange in sunlight on rocks, for example
This is all pulled together in such a professional way, and as to DERAIN's comment, I think he's right about the orange, but I think the orange contrast is in there already with the reflection of the lighthouse and the stones leading out to it...love the way the reflection of the lighthouse sort of snakes its way out over the water closer to us..and also the rocks in the foreground are of an orange hue in warmth..so I think you've got it. Just one other thing I noticed that I really enjoyed was in the background along the horizon line, the clouds that are almost touching the water...excellent job ;)PJ
Had this in the voting booth and if it were not for the horizon, I would never have been able to tell it was a photo manipulation.
Compositionally, kind of conflicted with the central placement of the lighthouse ... but, the more I look at this image of yours ... the more I prefer it. Adding in that extra amount of texture from the stone seawall adds that little 'something something' to this one.
Hard pressed to find fault with this one ... getting extremely nit picky the shadows of the lighthouse itself, compared to those falling on the rocks are not 100% in my mind. Delineating the horizon somewhat more, could be an additional consideration.
I think this is excellent work. And but of course, thank you for sharing your efforts.
I like it. Something about where the clouds meet the water looks off. like the horizon from the cloud shot is off from the water. That's really the only thing that stands out as being a manipulation, that and it's too perfect :-)
