Very nice minimalist shot

Well shot and worth the effort in getting there, might be worth a tweak in post to lose the converging verticals imho.
Does the horizon slope left to right very slightly ?
I'm not sure i follow with the converging verticals? The light house is wider at the base than the top, its leaning to the right and backwards into the sea due to storm damage. I did think about correcting that however, the purists will then moan its not leaning as it does in real life, i suppose they are correct, I wouldn't fix the tower in pisa either

What was supposed to be a simple drive up from Worcester to Talacre to photograph the lighthouse at sunrise turned up to be a frustrating game of follow the diversion. Even the local bobby pulling the 4am shift could not offer any help in the matter.
We did finally make it and it was a bit of a dash to get to the beech. All in all a challenging and difficult shoot for me.

Image is amazing, but I think I would have processed this a bit differently. The Vignette is overpowering for me as is.

Great timing in this one, and the birds add a lot to the image. The vignette is fine by me, but I'm sure none (or less) would work equally well.

Cracker of a shot,
Having just attempted my first similar shot, it can be very hit and miss as to whether the weather plays ball and provides the drama,
Well theres no shortage of drama in this.
Pp aside, it's a cracker.
Should be pleased with that one.

The way the water reaches into the clouds is quite powerful - with an almost peaceful sense of fulfillment.

You can almost hear that. Wonderful image.

Nice shot Geoff.
Brings back memories from a very long time ago...parents used to have a static caravan on Presthaven Sands, and we often used to walk to the lighthouse...when we as kids weren't leaping off the fabulous sand dunes a short walk from the van.
