85 Jan 21 Comment Bob & Lou, I agree with both of your comments regarding the shot being a bit dark for most people's likes. My images do tend to be high contrast, and more saturated than most. In hindsight, this image could have been brightened.

And of course I did work the mage in Photoshop. I purposely did not reveal I had used Photoshop's new Replace Sky command, not to fool or mislead anyone. I wanted to see just how obvious the replacement was.

Also, I am the front person in the photo.

85 Jan 21 Comment Hi Bob, sorry for my late reply. My comments and style preference are similar to those of Bob's. It results in a more more dramatic sky.

However, if the final result is a bit overdone for your preference, or if you do not have similar plugins, reducing the exposure and adding a bit of contrast might be a way to make it closer to "my" preferred look.

I envy you being able to take photos of anchored ships. I tried it at the Los Angeles Harbor and got a warning from the local police. :-)		 Jan 13th
85 Jan 21 Comment Bob, sorry for the late comment. This photo again illustrates the excellent quality and detail that can be obtained by using a frame capture to acquire just the picture you are after. I like the composition you have chosen.

I am curious, what was the resolution of the video?		 Jan 13th
85 Jan 21 Comment Lisa, sorry I am late in commenting. I was out of town. I like the composition that illustrates the differences in the houses themselves and their landscaping. Possibly, the minor cropping suggested by Lou might improve the photo, but... Jan 13th
