This shot was taken up the river Blackwater close to where i live.
Comments very welcome.

Nicely composed.

[Craigie]

I like the image a lot.
Just one thing I find the greenery/bush 2/3 of the way up on the left hand side a bit distracting.

I like this image. It almost looks like a viking ship!

[rtbaum]

Very nicely done, Maurice

[Mike Buckley]

Wonderful composition, light and feeling! If it's possible to create some separation between the boat and the ground on the left side of the image, that would make it even better. That may not be possible due to how the scene was lit.

Great capture.

I like it, but as one of my mentors would say... if it were mine I would change the right side crop. Either wider or narrower might improve the composition?

The RH bottom corner is too dark, did you try to open up the shadows?

Nicely composed.

John, thanks.

Mike, I tried but failed. Skill levels not up to it.
Thanks, Maurice.

Hi Maurice,

skill was not up to it

The question is; would you like to be able to?

I think you may have Adobe software ...

I opened this in ACR* and applied "Shadows" +90 and "Blacks" -10, that revealed some detail, even from the jpg (would be better still if applied to the RAW image).

* ACR = Adobe Camera RAW - the editor that appears before Photoshop CC or Elements, although same adjustments are possible in LR (LightRoom).



Cheers, Dave

IMO Dave's edit revealed the beautiy of the image

Dave, your correction is exactly what I was thinking of when I suggested a slightly different crop.
