Hi Bob. I know the lighthouse well. You've caught it at a lovely moment, with nice light and enhanced by the storm clouds. Very handsome image. It might be improved by a slight CW rotation, and perhaps a bit of NR (maybe consider NR on everything except the lighthouse itself, just as you would if the subject were a bird, to protect detail).

Hi Bob - like this a lot. The storm clouds add a nice bit of drama, agree with Bill on the CW rotation.
Does seem to be some Noise present which is surprising at 200ISO - Was this under exposed??

Keep em coming :)

Hi Bob, Good classic view of the lighthouse. Nice light with the drama of an angry sky. Agree about the rotation and you shouldn't have noise at ISO 200. Did you apply a filter or effect that might have caused the noise?

[Troy Lim]

My first thought was Underexposed. At ISO200 with the noise, it is probably the case.
It is a great shot, worth saving. :)

Beautiful scene, Bob.

Hi Bob Will be up there trying that lighthouse .. hope the sky will cooperate !!!

Interesting when you let us know about the histogram !! Excellent mood !!!

[Bob Miller]

Thanks for the feedback. I should have run noise reduction. This photo was really a blend of 2 exposures with the sky being 2 stops underexposed!

Thanks Bob, I figured you did something. Next time it might be good to tell us what you did so we could better analyze....
