Yes, there is light here, and there's a 'light'house! It's a good subject but the landscape format does this no favours. I would have rotated and got closer, as the surrounding gorse is not condusive to the shot.

Image is a bit too smooth in places.

could be sharper, and the colors could have been a little brighter, but nice shot...5

It could have more impact with a touch more saturation.

maybe better to shoot at night to emphasis 'light'?

Pretty lighthouse. I wish there was a bit more breathing room above the lighthouse. It also seems to have a slight tilt to the left. Very pretty though.

It's leaning a bit to the left. I also would have liked to see a bit more of the surrounding landscape to give it more context.

I think this will suffer because of the link to the challenge. I know it said any interpretation of a light, but I think this will get marked down because it is a picture of a big light and not a subtle or novel interpretation.

As for the photo itself, I would like to see it rotated a fraction so the light is vertical and the horizon level. The background and foreground are both a little dull and the whole thing looks a bit lifeless to me.

I would have like to have seen this taken at dusk on a day with a beautiful sky and the lighthouse operating. I think that would have scored much higher.
