Castlehill Light House, Newport, RI - Critique Me

This is a discussion on Castlehill Light House, Newport, RI - Critique Me within the Critiques forums, part of the Photography & Fine art photography category; Yeah, that's what I thought. The large rock in the foreground dominates a little too much... Otherwise, great shot....

    This is a very strong image undeed, well done.

    Agree with fante, you could dodge the lighthouse a wee bit more.

    A very slight crop on the left side might also help the composition (not sure).

    Excellent use of leading lines to guide the eye to the main subject, however agree with the others that the foreground is too strong; my suggestion would be to recrop in portrait aspect with the light of the lighthouse positioned at the upper-left third.
