The Nubble

[craigmstevens]

I really liked this shot of the Nubble lighthouse in Cape Neddick Maine. It was early morning and the lighting seemed to be just right for some great colors. Just wondering what you all think. Is the composition ok? Clarity? Anything I could have done better? Any feedback will be good.
Shooting with Nikon D80
Tripod used
ISO 100

I like the subject a lot.

One thing I think can be improved here is the colour balance. The blue in the sky doesn't pop out, but looks a little washed out by the orange instead.

What a beautiful place!
First of all, I like your photo very much but there's some things that I would have done differently.
Composition - I'd like if the subject isn't that centered. I would place it a bit more to the right. It seems to me that you would then lose some uninteresting bushy space in the right part of the photo and get some beautiful rocks that seems to exist on the left.
One other thing... I would like it to be slightly brighter. Maybe just a little bit playing with Levels. I think that would also help with the photophan's suggestion.
But all in all I really like this photo

Thank you for your response. The sun was behind some clouds on the right which made for the duller blue sky. I could change that but was trying to show the moment as it really was. On the left was a power line which was unnatractive to crop the light to the right but I will crop it to the left and capture the rocks on that side and repost. Thanks for your advice it really helps.
