The sky is great, full marks for that. The only down-side is how the tower is cropped. 6

would've scored better (IMO) without the perspective caused by the wide angle lens. your horizon is very tilted (look near Ledge Light). And your Eastern Point Light is not vertical either. Probably would have been better with the entire lighthouse in the frame too (it looks chopped off here). The colors are fantastic, though, and I like the star burst pattern from the sun.
