Might be worth posting that in the film section, I'm guessing from the fact it's a Schneider lens that it's large format?
It's a nice photo, the foreground detail is great although for me the lighthouse feels a little lost.

The leaning lighthouse bothers me.
Can you straighten in LR?
I agree with the comments above.
The lighthouse has a definite skew to the right, but the horizon is level, so I'm assuming either some distortion caused by the lens or something done in post-production?
I think it might work better with a shorter exposure too as the smoothed clouds and sea are making it look a little flat. Or, alternatively, the long exposure might work better with a colour film as that would add seperation between the large blocks of land, sea and sky.
Nice photo though and the sort of location that I'm envious of.
I actually like it "as is". The lighthouse seems to have been the object most easily "found" rather than lost .
If it were straightened, it could only be done by effectively removing and replacing, as a simple rotation would have a significant effect on the horizon.
Personally, I prefer it as it is. It raises questions for me, stimulates ideas and generally makes the image even more interesting.
@sirch Thanks for tagging me so that I could enjoy it.
Oh dear that Lighthouse looks drunk an easy fix in Photoshop, I would do it only you have NO as a photo edit option

Yes its 4x5 film.
The lighthouse was so small in the frame I waited until it switched on (about 9:30pm) so it was more noticeable. It probably need a 72mm or a 90mm lens to zoom in on the lighthouse more. I have a 150mm but that might be too much...
Hi Les, is there a dedicated plugin that can correct this type of distortion?
