A nice shot but way over processed. Easy on the photoshop

This is a beauty, though I remember thinking when I first viewed it that the lighthouse was held back too much, that it shouldn't be quite that white. A quibble on a fine shot.

I really do like the drama in the sky and the foreground detail...I think the burning is just a tad too artificial looking...I do like it though 8

Bumping this up to 10. I love the dramatic sky and the way the path leads your eye up to the lighthouse.

A very dramatic image with good composition and lighting but it feels a little over processed for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

OOOHH... I really like all of this. I can't decide if I like the clouds with attitudes, or the path that leads you to the lighthouse. (I really like that the path isn't directly centered in the frame, much more natural.)

Awesome! The drama in the sky, The leading lines to the lighthouse and the B/W processing all fantastic. Hope to see this on the front page.

I am hoping you put your pp steps on...I think this has some dodge and burn in it and I am trying to figure out how to use that feature...really good shot...

wow, im impressed:) the contrast in the clouds and the water and the land is excellent, i like how you have highlighted the path, it keeps the veiwer focused on what YOU want them focused on. the lighthouse just glows, like a gem at the top of the hill
