Cape Otway Lighthouse
The Cape Otway lighthouse, at the bottom of Cape Otway, off the Great Ocean Road in western Victoria (Australia).
See this website for more historical information about it: http://www.lighthouse.net.au/lights/VIC/Cape%20Otway/Cape%20Otway.htm
After posting this image for critique on DSLRUsers.com (a photo forum I frequent), a couple of people suggested a wider crop and to perhaps lighten the image a bit. I did so, and have received favourable response. As such I have replaced the original that was here with the reworked image.
Cape Otway Lighthouse belongs to the following groups:
Australia's Great Coastline, Black and White Photography, Landscape Photography, Otway National Park / Great Ocean Road (1/day) and Scenery Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

Great contrast between the white rails and the dark ground. Top stuff!

Nice clouds, the lighthouse is stunning in that clear chalky-white (and nice shading too). I like the minimal detail and highlights on the grass in the foreground.
I am not sure about the pathway & railings or the centred framing.
I would like to see a landscape version with the lighthouse on the LHS 1/3rd mark.
