Shipwreck's ghosts and a lighthouse - a photo on Flickriver

I went to the Pigeon Point Lighthouse for sunset with the long lens, or so I thought. Clouds came in on this iconic lighthouse located on the California coast south of San Francisco, and obscured the sun. The wood structure in the foreground is a piece of the hull of the Point Arena shipwreck, which sank in rough seas in 1913 in front of the lighthouse.

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from two sets of two RAW exposures, blended and manually focus stacked them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
