lovely photo. Lighthouses are always a great subject, and do well for this challenge theme.

Very painterly. What is it about lighthouses? They are always so steadfast with a magical quality. Great use of negative space.

Nice image.
I may have tried to use hdr to expose more details in the clouds. Though it might be that you didn't want to have the clouds competing for a focal point so shot it this way. Nice capture. It's how I perceived the challenge too.
