Cana Island Light

This is the Cana Island light in Door County, Wisconsin. The photo

was taken in the early afternoon in April. I know the lighting would

be better in the early morning or late afternoon. I'm looking for

comments on the composition. Any comments are welcome.

First, I like the picture. But I think it would be better without the trees on the left and right edges, and maybe without the wall. It is hard to decide what the subject of the photos is, the wall, the house, or the light house. All of them are nice, but they are battling for supremecy in this shot. I might try taking this from closer to the wall or from in front of the house at the left of this picture.

This is well done techniques wise, and would make a good magazine photo, travel, etc. But as a stand alone image, it doesn't convey anything. What made you stop and take a picture here? What were you feeling? What are you trying to share with the viewer? Everything in this shot is equal in size and clarity. There is no conflict or comparison. It's to orderly and rectangular and rigid. Find a dynamic viewpoint that propels the picture above a mere "record shot". Whew...it obviously got my attention, I'll give it that.
