Hopefully the blue low to mids and sepia highs will be evident in the scan.

A Dramatic image of a 'mundane' subject. The boats are remeniscent of standing stones. I like the split toned effect which suits this perfectly. I do wonder if the very bright boat in the centre background could have been printed down a little. For me ir disturbs the sombre atmosphere.

Thanks for your thoughts Rob.


Stoo Batchelor wins the Spot The Hidden Boat prize by pointing out there are actually 7 boats here. Deliberate Mistake, clearly Wink.

It is all about the shapes again and they can be whatever you want them to be. Good after toning work again and I like the dramatic printing.

Watcha Leon,
excellent stuff, the hard, angular shapes of the boats playing of against the soft, rounded sky. On my screen there is only a hint of sepia in the sky, and hardly any blue in the shadows, such are the problems of scanners and monitors.
best
Mick
