Good idea. I think compositionally this could be better. There is a lot of stuff that adds nothing to the image and should be cropped out. I think the sides should be cropped way in, elimiating the ship on one side as that is just a distraction to the subject of your picture. An equal about off the left side for balance. Just the rock and maybe a hint of water on the sides would have been better for me. Just one opinion, nothing more. 5
Hmm - I know this lighthouse. I am not a fan of the overtly blue colors on the water, but I like how you framed Ledgelight. I think it may have been really neat to get a little closer and make the circle a more substantial part of the image.
I am no photo expert so my comments are based on how I feel about your picture, I hope they are usefull.
The object you are trying to frame is a little too small in the picture and although it certainly attracts my attention I think focusing on the rock and the element inside would have helped this image. It may have also helped to get rid of the rather uninspiring sky.
