The Boat House

I shot this one a while back and didn't like how it was turning out when I was processing it. I stumbled on it the other night and gave it another shot.



This HDR was made with 5 RAWs processed in Photomatix and other PS work...

Pretty interesting. A few questions: is the vignetting deliberate? If so, I would suggeset you make sure it's evened out in the frame.

The nit I have with this image is that bright spot right smack in the middle of the shore line. My eye is draw to that because it's the brightest, high-contrasty spot in the picture. It would be mice to darken this and then play with some alternate post-processing to get the boat house in the "spot light." Make sense?

I see your point... It kind of fights with the boat house for your attention and focus. Hmm... I have something to play with now, thanks!

You're welcome. Now if only I could learn to see these issues in my OWN images, then I'd be making some genuine progress! :bash
