it's not bad at all - though I'm not sure you've made the correct decision about your cropping: whilst that bright band at the top of the image should serve to emphasise the darkness of the clouds, I think it is unueccesary - as the contrast with the lighthouse serves that purpose anyway, and that build-up of cloud, and the red under-lighting, would be the more powerful for istting in stronger parts of the frame compositionally. More than anything, i think the file size of the submission lets you down - you've used around a fifth of the avaiable file size, and that's severely restricted your level of detail in such a large image, and detail is important in such a small image size as we get here.

Comment by ubique:
This is a very appealing image of an architectural detail. This facade is not really a spectacular design, but it is beautifully displayed in the early morning sunlight, so I think this is a very legitimate architectural study. It seems a bit over processed, but maybe that's just the effect of the low-angle light source & the sunlight flooding all the other colour out of the scene. 6.

I would prefer a shorter exposure. A lot of detail is lost in the glare. A 5.

Great observation - looks reminiscent of a clip from Gladiator or something epic like that. The only niggle is the crooked fence and the pole in the background.

The light is magnificent. 5 minutes earlier or later would have lost this magic. Great photo.

great shot with amazing light, but it is not primarily about the architecture. If you are disapointed with your score it might not be because it isn't a lovely shot.
