Good colours in the sky.

I really like the repeating lines across the frame from bottom to top. The light with a color temp almost the same as the fire in the sky tops it all off nicely. Very nice.

What a cute little lighthouse. I like that the light is visible, nice.

The crop could be a little different to be more effective. I would crop the bottom more. Punch up the colors / saturation up slightly, 6

Somewhat dull.

The placement of the lighthouse is a little uncomfortable. I think the rule of thirds would have been better here--or center the horizon instead of the land. Or move things to the left so we get the point of the land. It's a wonderful picture, but the cropping just seems off.

I might have cropped down to raise the light house in the image, loose some of the light blue sky to make this a bit more moody? imo

nice serenity with lovely tones.

Sharp, great position for the light house and the sky is just dreamy. Very nice capture.

Very calm and peaceful.

Perfect twilight shot. The glow in the sky seems to be coming from the lighthouse itself. Great luminescence on the foam. Love the dark line of the horizong.

A rather bland shot, composition is standard with a mildly interesting subject. The colors in the sky are very nice

move the view to the right, crop a little from the bottom and you got a very nice image. this is just not bad, in my opinion
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Lovely pastel sunset. Overall I like the composition, though I find myself wanting to see more on the right (like the end of the point and then some width of just ocean so the land doesn't go out of the frame). Looks so peaceful, though, and reminds me of a few times we vacationed in Nantucket off-season. Wonderful place.

As the sun falls from the sky, all eyes onboard scanned the horizon for the stabbing beam from the light at the mouth of the harbor. It would guide them safely home.

I think cropping just a touch off the left may help as well as showing either more sky or more water to make the horizon less centralized.

Very nice lighthouse shot.
