1) Overall thoughts on the clean up around the lighthouse in both aspects?
2) Should the lighthouse be knocked out of focus a touch to account for depth of field?
3) Also thought a 1:1 aspect ratio worked in this case, but not sure if better still in 4:3 and just cropped as needed?
4) Any other thoughts appreciated as well, as I am using these as examples, so any thoughts are worth trying just to get better using the photo manipulation software.
