Hi Timothy, I had to make a couple of adjustments in photoshop as you can see from the attached original, firstly I had to adjust the perspective as I was unable to get close to the boat to get the shot I wanted, I then had to crop in tight to remove the plastic boat from the left side, lastly I desaturated the water area, and used one of the blur tools on the water and jetty/post.
Wow. Just fantasic! Did you make any exposure adjustments or dodging to this? I like the contrast of the photo, as well as the compostion of having it off center. Well done!
