Nice one Eric. I absolutely wouldn't lose the reflection of the treeline.

Post by: Eric Myrvaagnes on August 11, 2017, 11:17:14 pm: I did think about removing the reflection of the treeline, but I decided I liked it the way it is.
(Not for the sake of purity; content-aware fill is probably my most frequent excuse for jumping into PS from LR.)

Thanks, everybody!

Eric

Post by: Farmer on August 11, 2017, 11:56:06 pm: It's so lovely. I couldn't immediately tell the scale of it (was it full sized or some sort of model), but that was great because I was really looking at the whole of the image and not just the boat as the subject, so that's a real winner for mine.

Yes, it was full-sized, not a model.

Bravo, Eric.

Yes!

Post by: John R on August 14, 2017, 09:35:12 am: I guess the landline is debatable, but the excellent placement of the Dory and lines are not. It is well done. Wonderful tension between pacific waters and Dory, and the movement the lines create. The reflected clouds are quite subtle and add secondary interest. Really nice, Eric!
