Would love some constructive feedback on this lighthouse!

This is a picture I took of Marblehead Lighthouse in Ohio. I would like some criticism from you pros 😉

the light house has a lean to it due to barrel distortion here is a link on how to fix it.
I dislike the vignette
I love the clouds and all the rest.

^^ she hit it exactly.

1. I don't like the distortion

2. I don't like the vignetting

Fix the mentioned issues and I think you have a great photo ....I like the eeriness of the image

Thank you guys for the comments. I didn't even really notice the tilt look but i think this looks a little better, right?

The tilt doesn't bother me. It creates a bit of a "leading line" feel upward, drawing the eye into the sky, which is really nice and dramatic. The vignette is a bit dark I think. I would like to see it with the distortion but without the vignette. It is all just personal preference though. Bottom line, you nailed this one. Nice work.

Thanks for the words everyone. I have since straightened it up and lost the vignette and think you guys were right. Looks better.
