Pa's Boathouse Photo

Photographer’s Note

My grandfather (we always called him "Pa") was a farmer all of his life. He also was very good at carpentry. He built this boathouse on a pond behind his house. For years he kept a small, aluminum, flatbottom boat stored in here. He also built two small wooden boats that we have hanging in an old barn behind his house.

Post-processing: I converted the original to sepia. Small amount of "clarify" filter; USM, and added the frame.

Strange feeling about the shot. Everything a bit out of focus, blured. The tones are nice but maybe a bit more contrast?
Anyway, i like the emotions of this "blur".

Nice to see you back here on TE, my friend. A very well composed and captured shot.
I like the PP very much - it gives an excellent effect of ancient times and a very strong mood. Beautiful.

Nice capture of the boathouse and well presented in the BWversion - maybe a little more sharpness had been to the better.
