Caught this reflection off the windows of the lightkeepers house while photographing the lighthouse at sunset. I kind of like this image better than the actual lighthouse shots.
Not much processing. I cloned out some minor distractions in the reflection and sharpened.

I think this is a very well thought out image, and you did catch a nice reflection and the essence of the challenge as well. The idea is great.
Compositionally, I believe there could possibly be room for improvement. Unfortunately, I can only guess at what lies outside the shown image area though. The dark area in the upper right corner is a bit of an eye-grabber. It creates a sharper contrast that is rather far from the subject area of the image. I don't know if you could have composed that element out or not by moving to one side or the other... it's hard for me to tell... I also don't know if you could have elevated the camera a little more to make it more of a face-on photo... low enought to keep yourself out of the reflection but high enough to eliminate that corner...
At any rate, it's a good shot... I think it's a little underrated :)
I like the effect of the framed window looks like a tower extension repeting the square windows in the original tower. It is original and works. Maybe some reflections are annoying or unnecessary.
