Show them a light and they'll follow you anywhere.....

Have I got too much foreground in this composition? All thoughts and comments regarding the image are appreciated in the ongoing effort for improvement.

I would try cropping it a little bit from the bottom,did you use a very wide angle to take this photo Andrew?As far as I know ,ultra wide angles give bigger foregrounds and may not be suitable for every scene.

This! is a good project for composition and cropping. The shot has a lot of potentials. Crop a little to the left, crop a big lot at the bottom...space at the right is OK...try it.

I wouldn't change that foreground fence, Andrew, unless you make a substantial crop.

For me, I need to see some depth to that fence. In fact I do wonder about actually having a little more of it. The fence is what draws you into the far distance.

If you want to try something different, how about a crop from the right side, and a different size ratio?

I like the fence and the way it leads my eye to the lighthouse, the windblown feel and the gorgeous colours. I like this image cropped off of the right side, almost midway between the two fence posts... But I'm still learning too, and that is just a version that appeals to me.

The foreground fence is partially needed to lead the eyes to the shoreline and lighthouse referenced in your title, but a close crop, zoom in, or getting closer to the subject would be more beneficial to your viewers.

Reach for the sky..... Assuming you cannot gain any more elevation you could try taking a few shots with the camera held above your head. When I do it I have a high failure rate regarding composition but I usually manage to get one that is about right.

A bit more elevation will have the fence a bit lower and not such a block to the eye entering the photo. Often a unblocked reasonably direct visual path helps a scene. Also the gap of water between the shore and lighthouse/beacon should increase and make the lighthouse/beacon a bit more dominant.

Certainly a very attractive setting with the contrasting tones and snow. Excellent exposure to not blow out snow. In fact it on my monitor it could even be a fraction brighter.
