This has some lovely colours but I would straighten it so that the window frames near the edge are vertical.
Nice composition.

Hmmm I think straightening that part of the image would then lead to the little white window being crooked. Whereas, at the moment, I can see it is straight.
Not easy getting something straight unless you are totally head on to it, I have found.

Alison,
I meant the little window - it might be my eyesight but it looks like 1-2 degrees out to me compared to the frame.

Roger and Alison: Thanks guys. There seems to be a small tilt in the small window, perhaps less than a degree but I see it. I'll see what I can do about it.
Another good one Seb.If it's leaning by the small window I can't tell. But if you look at the window frame just above the handrails it does. But it doesn't take away from the shot IMO...
Seb, I like the colors here, exposure and the lighting is working well. I just can't seem to be able to feel comfortable with the framing of this. I think it is an interesting approach by putting the house off at the edge of the frame with the wires leading down to the other corner. Somehow it just does not feel ok to me when I view it. Yes, it looks like it is slightly tilted and perhaps straightening it would help, but i still feel like i would like/need to see some space at the other side of the light house.

Thanks Greg, I was reffering to the small window but the tilt is almost neglectable. Yes the top window is more problematic.

Gary, the funny thing (well it's not that funny) is that I first considered an even more agressive crop with less space on the right side. I appreciate your view as always.
Here is a tilt corrected version. The edge of the small window is now straight. The top part may still seems to be leaning but it has to be due to its shape.

The tilt adjustment has improved the feel of the image. I still feel "uncomfortable" with the placement of the light house but i think it is a fine image abd moreso now with the adjustment. Carry on
Seb, looks like you used the right edge of the shadowed face of the hexagon to frame it.
I'd have done the same looking for an unconventional angle (pun intended) on this.
Needless to say I like it
