The foreground is beautiful. It would've been nice to have had some sun on the lighthouse itself. Looks like the clouds at the top were moving and became a little blurry. Rather than having the horizon at the centre, you could probably crop out the blurry clouds and end up with a more pleasing shot.

Just curious, what lens is this shot with?

The rocks are great, but they steal the attention from the lighthouse, which is bathed in shadow!

The best part of this is -- no, "here" was correct! :P

Back to the photo -- I like the treatment, but I can tell it's HDR. It may just be a personal thing, but I rarely like knowing that a photo is HDR just by looking at it.
