For me it's the foreground that's taking the edge off. Maybe it's just too bright? The foreground itself isn't really worth looking at.
Not sure what the answer is; whether a crop would remove some of the foreground and draw the eye to the horizon more, or darkening the foreground, or something else. But for me there's definitely the potential for something really special there - it's got some fantastic ingredients. Love the lighthouse and the corona, love the colours and I like the brightening on the left from the coming dawn. As it is now I think it's a bit marmite though as I've no doubt some will love it.
Down in South Devon on business for a few days so took the camera along and managed to sneak an evening out...

One I took of the Velodrome at Stratford. The sharpness of some of the EOS M lenses really impresses me sometimes.

I think you've captured the stillness of the area very well. The third picture taken just above the bridge is lovely._IMG0327PS by jon bawden, on Flickr_IMG0333PS by jon bawden, on Flickr_IMG0325PS by jon bawden, on Flickr_IMG0332PS by jon bawden, on FlickrC&C welcome as always

Were you staying in Shaldon?

Cheers everyone, and I agree its not right as it is. Too many elements I think I like the circle theme and I do like the light on the foreground but not sure it is helping the image overall. a work in progress!
For me I like the light from the lighthouse on the right and the lit foreground, its the bright light in the sky on the left that detracts/unbalances it? Obviously hard to avoid if thats where the light is though! I like the circlular flare around the lighthouse and the way the sky and foreground reflect the same semi-circlular shapes.As others have said you set the bar high with your other work!

Unfortunately not this time - stayed in the premier inn at Newton Abbott, but still managed to catch some time with relatives who live in Teignmouth, and then took a wander over to Shaldon for an hour :-)Were you staying in Shaldon?
we had a great holiday last year in Shaldon - stayed in big house overlooking the bowling green...had a great time

Very nice. Driving this morning I saw a similar scene that looked like it could be great for a photo but I didn't achieve anywhere near the same results. Frosty_Morning by Nature Ist, on FlickrI'm a very green beginner so constructive criticism welcome

Bit bored so I took some random flower pics and had a little play with the levels on Avery in Flickr... It's always nice to play
