Cape Meares Lighthouse

The star effect of the filter distracts the attention from the main subject. I think there's not enough detail in the dark parts

I thought I should explain this one a little. I do not use filters in my work. The Star effect in this Photo is un-intentional, and that portion of the frame would have beeen highly overexposed if I increased the brightness any more. I thought about cropping the sun out, but I like the effect on the overall composition.

I don't use filters, so the star effect is un-intentional. I would

have liked to brighten the scene to bring out some detail, but the

right side would have been overexposed.

Distracting star effect aside, I don't care for the way the lighthouse window beam lines up with the horizon.
