I love the composition - have you tried tweaking the contrast a wee bit to get those blacks a bit blacker and to give a wee touch more detail in the sky and around the lighthouse windows?

Just a suggestion - hope you don't mind. If you do, just let me know and I'll give myself a kick Laughing

How did you convert to b&w as a matter of interest?? might be able to get more out of the sky with the channel mixer method
