Can anyone improve this with P/S. I have it but often miss the best way to fix things. This boat was a friends fathers boat built before the war in tasmania. Click on it to get a larger photo. I was thinking edit the 2 white poles & maybe the towel hanging outside ?

Cheers....humungus

    I took Cletus' version, upped the contrast and brightness just a tad, cloned out the white mast on the left and cropped out the white strip in the bottom.

    Hope I haven't chopped it up too much for you. Much the same as you with the cloning, colour, levels etc but I also took out the long wood on the left to try to balance it. I took out the top as it drew my eye away from the boat. Sorrysad.gif
