Ah! Your new, post-modern minimalism phase.  Just funning. I like the concept, but would prefer something more...it is perhaps too minimal. Would a ray of light from the lighthouse enhance the idea? Clive |

I can see it on my laptop (very faint though). I doubt it's anything to do with the actual type screen itself (laptop desktop, tablet, phone etc).
It is unreasonable to expect an image to look the same on every screen being used to view it. The most likely reason is that either the image creator's screen is not calibrated properly or the screen the image is being viewed on by others is not calibrated properly.
And even if both creator's and viewers' screen are properly calibrated, if the appropriate colour profile is not embedded in the image then it is very unlikely the image will be displayed properly on other screens.
For an image to be displayed correctly and consistently across all screens:
1. The image creator's screen must be properly calibrated
2. The screen of the person viewing the image must be properly calibrated.
3. The image must have the correct colour profile embedded in it.

On my main screen it is essentially black except the window. Only when opened in ACR and exposure increased to the max is the detail revealed. On my tablet, if I push the screen brightness some slight (very slight) detail can be seen on the unadjusted image as posted here. (At this level of brightness, the tablet issues an "eye warning."  ) BTW, it's a neat looking scene when pushed. Clive |

Hi
Sorry....On my original post I thought you were having trouble with maintaining the beam of light in the processing. After re-reading the posts, I realise you were not concerned about processing, but how the final image was seen to viewers. Therefore, I deleted my post so there is no confusion.
I see a small light at the top of the lighthouse and if I look carefully, I can see the lighthouse.

(The lighthouse beam.)

As long as it looks OK on your screen blackmutt, that is all that matters whether your screen is calibrated or not. You're the one who has to be happy with how it looks.
You can't control the screen settings of other people's screens - brightness, contrast, temperature, colours etc. For example, if someone's screen brightness setting is significantly lower than yours, then of course the image will appear much darker on their screen than it does on yours.
If you adjust your image to suit one viewer's screen you are most likely to negatively affect how the image looks on other people's screens.
When anyone posts an image anywhere on the www they should just accept that the image will look different on most viewers' screens.
And if someone is viewing an image on a not properly calibrated screen it is unreasonable to expect to see the image exactly as it was on the image creator's screen.
Welcome to Colour Management!
On my screen the image looks quite good as is in my browser. I can see the lighthouse and a faint Ray of light from it along with some background hills/foliage.
It certainly is not too dark.
