Hey Michael,
Still in Utah but heading home.....One of my favorite lighthouses! I like what David did to the FG blues.....works better for my tastes too. I do think a crop off the bottom....to more of a pano eliminating the tracks will only strengthen this very well done image.
I guess I'm the only one here that likes the blue foreground (though it does run counter to lighter brings forward / dark moves things away). I really liked Roman crop suggestion. All in all a great image.
