Scottish Lighthouse

[redheadedpenguin]

I took this photo on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, particularly near Kyleakin.
I'm pretty sure I had a shutter speed of 100 but I'm not completely sure because my trial of lightroom expired and it told me all of my settings because I normally don't check them as I snap constantly.
I used a Canon Rebel t2i with a 55-250mm Canon telephoto lens.
I wanted to have some of the ocean in the picture in order to contrast with the red and yellow in the lighthouse.
I edited it using adobe lightroom. I sharpened the photo and boosted the color a bit.
I was hoping to achieve the right balance of the sea and the lighthouse and the colored parts of the lighthouse.
The balance I would say because I was extremely happy with how it turned out.
If I could have taken it from a higher perspective I might have been able to get more of the mountains. I also could have straightened the photo, but I had tried straightening it while editing but the rocks and the red bridge are both at different straightness levels so either way it looked rather tilted.

Hi a nice images I would have liked to see bit more to the left of the image a long thin crop might have worked better, was there anything to the left?

All the best

This can't be Skye! It isn't raining. Nice shot though

Well I used a telephoto so I didn't crop it. But there was just water to the left. It was raining almost every day except this one. Thanks!
