Lighthouse
Interpretation of the subject by the photographer is what separates a snap shot from a work of art. With practice a photographers get the eye, the ability to see the subject in their mind as the final result they hope to accomplish. They don’t just photograph what’s in front of them but look for new ways to compose and express the scene. This can be learned by taking a subject and working with it by shooting it from different angles, in different formats, at alternate times of the day to get lighting with different qualities. If you only shoot the first thing you see you will get only record shots.
I like the color and contrast of the lighthouse against a graduated blue sky. This is a strong graphic and can be used in your composition a number of different ways. This image does give us the feeling of a cold clear day out on the point.
I would suggest taking the subject off the vertical center line of the composition. The road in the foreground could possibly be used as a leading line into the scene but where it is placed now it has a tenancy to take us to the left edge of the layout. Perhaps there was some fresh snow further to the right that would give a more pristine foreground, the footprints and tire paths may not be suitable for this image.
