Nice portrait, but the colors and focus on the background are just too washed out.

You found it, and too much of it it would seem.

This could have been a great shot if the model had been posed at dusk or at night, with a beam from the lighthouse as the source of illumination.
(...Unless the point of the picture is that the lighthouse is no longer in operation...)

overexposed and small DOF

To me I would like to see more DOF and a better sky. Too much of the image seems out of focus to be pleasing to me. I wonder if it might have worked better at twilight when the detail was still visible but the light was on in the lighthouse.

This whole image seems blown out a bit. With a few darker tones it might really have something.

Good idea, but more of the picture needs to be in focus.

This picture really struck a chord with me. It is more of the concept and execution than the quality. A bit overexposed. 10
