Coastal Bliss

Thanks Birgitta, I changed this about 100 times before I finally decided to consider it finished ! :)

Thanks Jane ! It was a good photo but the sun was really close to that boat on the left so it wasn’t really possible to avoid a slight ” blowout ”, so I went with an edit for it. I appreciate the fave and your support !

Thanks Liz, I liked the boats racing into port !

Thanks Daniel, I put some green in there to tweak the colours overall !

Thanks for the compliment Cheryl, it looked great with the boats sailing past !

I don’t know about exceptional, but thanks all the same ! :) I just thought it would contrast well with a frame. I stole some detail from the rocks in the foreground and gave some more contrast to the scene above the breaking wave.

Thanks very much for the Woooooow and the fave ! :) I’m glad you like this !

Thank you, always appreciated !

I didn’t think about a romantic image when I was taking the photo or treating it. I thought ” Wow, how lucky am I that those Yachts just happened to race while I was here with a camera set against such a backdrop ? ”. Thanks for the compliment and the fave Christiane !

Thanks Larry ! I’m keen to get some new software and see what possibilities it allows.

Thanks, that was the plan !

Thanks Laurie, it was a nice scene to work with !

Thanks Rob, I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw the yachts racing out of the harbour and got to catch them on the way in !
