A good start, but I think it needs a bit of refining.  There are a lot of little
things that could really help make this a nice image.

Firstly, I would re-think the composition a little bit.  The enclosure of the
lighthous and the foreground rocks makes it seems a bit claustrophobic, and the
way the edge of the foreground rocks form a tangent with the balcony of the
lighthouse really flattens out the composition.  Where there should be a
foreground (lighthouse), mid-ground (close shoreline) and mid-back (boat) and
background there is really only foreground (lighthouse/shoreline) and
background (boat/fog).  If you pull the camera back to let us see the entire
top of the lighthouse, this will probably open up the whole image and solve the
tangent with the foreground shore giving the whole think a lot more depth.

The modeling is prett good, but the lighting, textures and composition need
work.  The lighthouse is very close in color to the fog/sky and so does not
really stand out, additionally, the whole area we see is in shadow so there is
not much contrast to indicated that this is close to us and seperate from the
low-contrast background.  In contast to this the cliff side is very saturated
and creates an imbalance in the piece.  It may help to try some different color
combinatoins, or just less saturation in generall with an overall hue of orange
or red (suggesting sunrise).

Less ambient light would really help, or if you are going to use ambient light
(as the sky would provide) try multiplying an ambient occlusion pass over the
whole thing to give a more nuanced feel in the shadows.  

Explore using the whole range of luminance in your images.  If you take your
image into a paint program and turn down the saturation (make it B&W) see how
it holds up.  If the pattern of light and dark is pleasing, any extra bit of
color will just be icing on the cake.

Nice landscapes, beautiful setting. Everything looks a bit 
grainy and the radiosity is too bright in the shadow areas. 
Would be nicer with more contrast in the light. Apart from 
that, overall a great image.

Nice picture. Sky seems a little flat. Seems like the ship and the lighthouse
don't match. Lighthouse looks too modern for the wooden ship.

I like the cliffs and the sky colour. Using the same colour map for the surf was
a clever idea - makes the waves 'match' the terrain.

Nice refreshing and pleasant image.  It does indeed look like morning.  =
Great "presence" in this image -- I can just about feel the breeze =
blowing.
I like the details such as the fresnel lenses, the ships rigging, and =
the breaking waves in the background.
One minor criticism: the image doesn't seem to be well-framed.  Why not =
move the camera back a ways?  This viewer searches for a reason for the =
lighthouse to be so dominant in the composition, but can find none.  Now =
if you added the lighthouse-keeper looking out over the railing with a =
small telescope, it would bring this image to a whole new level.

nice use of theme, and cool composition.  image is slightly grainy, and colors
are a bit off in the grassy mountainside.
Notable for originality, composition
