When a photographer has a stationary subject to work with they should try to photograph it in a number of different ways.  Don’t just be satisfied with the first composition that comes to mind.  If possible photograph it from different angles and at different times of day.  Work with it.  Try every far-out composition you can think of.  This will broaden your perspective and understanding of the subject.

It looks like this photographer tried a few different layouts of this lighthouse before settling on getting down below the horizon and using the windblown reads to tell the story of the relationship of man and nature.  By making the grass taller than the light house he is symbolizing mans attempt to overcome nature.  This is a very imaginative composition.

There are a few suggestions I would like to make.  In the center bottom of the image is a lens flair that could have been avoided with the use of a lens hood or simply your hand or hat shielding the lens from the sun.  Near the right hand edge there is a wooden post protruding into the scene.  This could be removed with a little cropping and still not affect the overall layout.  The last thing I would recommend is working with the ‘layers’, ‘curves’ and ’saturation’ on the computer to eliminate the washed out effect.
