Didn't know what to think when I saw the thumbnail,
But I have to say I realy like this one, can see this one going on the wall.
I think that a pano cut would make it even stronger,
A strong halo is noticeable around the lighthouse (?)

Oh, the graphic arts strength of the first post gets my vote. Just my taste, but from a graphics art perspective, I'd like to see the building white show just above the black stripe ... maybe take some off the bottom as well (show less of the bottom and more of the top). I'd be inclined to throw the rule of thirds out on this one. Let the flock of geese define the bottom of the frame. Thanks for posting.
