I like the deep greens behind the lighthouse, it helps to show off the tower and buildings. Most lighthouses are in wet, rainy locations. And this scene certainly with the overcast misty look sets a cold mood. To me it says"Lighthouse" loudly. To my eye, it does not need rotating. Keep posting them Stephen and thanks for sharing.
Great looking image. I like the pano and that was what I was going to suggest but Roman beat me to it. I don't think it needs a rotation but when confronted with trying to figure it out, and I have a building in the image, try doing it off a straight edge on the building.
My first thought when looking was to crop out some of the water in the foreground. Then I looked and Roman did just that and made a pano. Great image to start but I like the pano better.
