Hi Jim,
Sorry to be honest in that case, but your picture is too much overexposed, we lost details and colouration. The sky is a mass of white and the composition is very straight, even the water is light brown. The subject is not without interest but a personal or different point of view would have been more interesting. The workshop is a move in the right direction. But you could have isolate a detail or at least change the setting on your camera. Next time maybe ? Your note is interesting, thanks.
Hi Jim, really over exposed, but I recognized this ol gal right away! Nice shot, excellent sharpness of the boat. I did a WS to see if I could tone down the brightness, Check it out!
