Hamnavoe Lighthouse, Burra, Shetland

I've been going back and forward to this photo for weeks now. I knew it had great potential but just couldn't think what I needed to do to it.
I've come back to it tonight and finally got it where I want it: cropped it into a better composition, brought out the details in the sky, and admittedly, over processed the clouds slightly, but I'm happy with the end effect: this is what a Shetland sky often looks like at the beginning of sunset.
You can see the lighthouse from my other half's parent's house, beyond "The Hurds" a terrain that's really rocky on the fringes, contrasted with a moist, marshy surface slightly inland, which one has to negotiate to reach this point that the lighthouse sits on.
