nice shot (no, it's not a cut & paste, lol)
I love the clarity or the light, house and the moon. Everything is so nice and sharp here. the exposure is perfect.

The left antenna may have .25 angle to it but the lighthouse itself, going by the sides of the window housing looks perfectly straight to me. I like the pverall effect of the vignetting. I also like that your exposure keeps detail showing in the moon and still allows the shadowing around the shape of the lighthouse.

I think the composition works and it a very nice photo. I do agree on a slight rotation. I wouldn't want the moon any closer to the light house because the separation shows me two beacons of light. One man made and one natural both of which a sailor can navigate by.
Just my 2 cents.
Great Job Robert!

I like it. Maybe a slight rotate to straighten the lighthouse.

Two suggestions: try to bump the exposure for the moon down a bit. Probably very difficult under the light you've got since any less would woefully underexpose the lighthouse. (but hey, work your RAW magic Robert!). Second, pop your 70-200 on and get a larger moon and a tighter comp with the lighthouse. The photo will increase in appeal as the angular size of the moon increases.

My kind of shot!
