Any comments on these?
The blown out parts of the lighthouse are annoying me. Any ideas on how to fix?

Probably a bit cheeky to comment as I haven't posted here for a year or more, but maybe just try a quicker shutter. It looks slighly over exposed overall. I would suggest taking your metering from the lighthouse, but in the second photo, the perspective shows you're using a zoom and are probably too far away to do that. Tbh, it's very hard to expose white properly in bright sunshine. Actually, I'd change the white balance to cloudy to warm it up a bit. Looks like too much of a blue tinge, even for winter sunlight.
The second one is nicely composed. Nice shots.

They look way to blueish to me. Maybe you could lower that to give it more contrast?

A Bit like this, it's not perfect, just messed with the colour balance. Hope you don't mind. Excellent shot though.

Ye mine looked very bluey alright.
Yours looks much better, colours (like the greens) show much better and the bluey haze is gone.
I had another stab at it myself.
I would really like to try and fix up the over exposed whites of the lighthouse and the ship. Is this even possible?

You'll have much more chance if you shot originally in RAW, if not you could try burning it in a little.
