The fisherman

This was the best angle to capture the fishermam in this position, i know that the distant lighthouse is a bit centered, but i like the perspective and sense of depth created by the lighthouse pier combined with the the waves along the coast, i tried to descentered the lighthouse but i would lost the sea detail and waves along the sea line .Besides i think that the main atraction point in the composition is the fisherman

I especially like the foreground texture which leads the eye gently into the scene. Centering is not a problem here.
An option might be to crop down about 1/4.

A good shot and like yourself I like the perspective The dark cloudy sky ad to the image as a whole and I would say that the lighthouse is a neccesary part of the image as a whole and seperates the headland from the base rocks

I like the coloring of the image (especially the contrast between the green of the sea and the varying tones to be found in the cloudy sky), the manner in which the eye of the viewer is led from the fisherman through to the distant lighthouse by the stonework wall, and just the nature of the setting (this picture would have worked for me without the presence of the fisherman but as I say he is like the ice cream on a piece of pie... not necessary but his presence enhances the nature of the photograph).

A nice touch would be a big bend in the rod. This is outstanding. IMO the centered lighthouse is no big deal. It's very small and isn't the main subject. Cropping per Rick's suggestion would really crowd the tip of the rod.

Very nice. Just wondering if you've darkened the sky?

Very VERY nice.
I like the sky a lot. I like the sea very much. I LOVE the rocks and sand combo. Lighthouse? It fills a need just where it is. The angler ... just a lovely 'angle' to him, looking into the distance. No crop. No crop.
I said this to someone else maybe yesterday - I envy you your opportunities and your talent. Sincerely.

Good lighting and composition but where is the line from tip of rod to water-it's visible going up the rod!

This is a beautiful scene. Love the sky and the light.

I like the "dare devil" coloration of the LH and its visual lure - glad you managed not to cut off the rod tip!

The whole image works well for me. The sky is a treat but then so are the details of fisherman, beach, rocks and sea.
