This one is from a few months ago. Thoughts?

    Looks to me like you've done a very nice job from getting the scene to showing the scene with nice PP. Whats not to like in that regard. I'd say well done. Next please :D

    A human silhouette would have enhanced the take. But there was none.

    I think I know what you mean. This should be fabulous, but it's only good. I'm not quite sure why I feel that way, but I think it may have something to do with the centered mast and ropes. My eye keeps coming back to that rather than exploring the lovely mist and repeating lines. Dunno.

    Richard: I think you nailed it, the centered mast is distracting. Could the picture be taken in a different way? The mast is centered on the dock, so I don't know...
    Thanks.

    Hard to say without being there, but it looks like a tough problem to me. You could have shot from a higher angle so that the top horizontal had been out of frame, but you would have lost some of that nice sky and the ropes would still be there. Getting closer and panning to the left would have gotten it off center, but it still might have been a problem. It probably wouldn't be difficult to clone it out, if you don't mind that sort of thing, dunno.

    Next time bring a chain-saw. naughty.gif

    I don't mind making minor fixes, but I wouldn't like to clone out the whole mast. I guess I'm a bit of a purist, the chain-saw approach at least would be real! rolleyes1.gif
