Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hmmm I know that lighthouse...can't say I blame you for using it, it's clearly very accessible for you in all Lake Michigan's moods. Watch the highlights on the crashing waves though, bleachy is never that good as it doesn't convey a sense of depth. Even worse it's bright, so it draws attention to itself, rather than help highlight the star of the show, the lighthouse.
I'm glad on a personal level to see that you paid attention to a critique or two back of this same lighthouse and elevated yourself so there are no oof rocks in the foreground. The oof bush and rocks are just fine, though, they add interest and depth to the scene; the sharpness on the walkway and lighthouse are a huge boon here.
Just one word of warning: beware that this lighthouse, shot from this angle, doesn't become a visual cliche. Otherwise it could become tired and lacking novelty, so explore the coastline a little more. Maybe check out  Bear_Music's port - he lives in Cape Cod and though his processing gives him away most of the time, he makes sure he works every single inch of coastline he can get to!
Keep up the good work!
