Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: I can tell that the focus on the image is ok, but the haloing around the lighthouse really takes away from any quality that the image may have had. I also think that you did the scene an injustice by taking desating the red channel. The image looks very cold, though my eye wants to think it should look warm.
Lighting: The lighting of the sunset or sunrise is spectacular on its own, but my eye jumps right back to the lighthouse. I am not sure if it was dodging or some other adjustment, but the lighthouse looks very unnatural.
Composition/Content: I do like your composition. Every element serves to help the image flow, as well as keeping the eye moving through and exploring the frame.
My Opinion: I think that the voters were fairly generous with your end score. There are obviously several technical flaws that kept this image from reaching its full potential.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

| Funky colors and other processing artifacts. Try starting over in B&W. |

| I'm not sure if there was some tonemapping, or if you adjusted highlights/shadows, but there's noticeable haloing around the lighthouse, at least on my monitor. I do like the tones you've captured in the clouds. |

| Nice photo but I feel that the light house and the light rays are fighting for the center of attention. |
