Hi Colin;

Technically speaking- a great shot. But just a couple pointers to make this shot even better;

1.) The first is a level horizon. For shots such as this- having a level horizon is crucial. In this case- it could use a very slight clockwise rotation. Click this link for an easy fix that I use.

2.) Sharpening is best done AFTER the image is resized.

3.) The last thing is a small trick that works well for borders. To keep your image from blending with your border- add a small 2 pixel black (or other dark color) pinstripe before adding the white (in this case frame).

Hope these litte tips help to make your good shots- even better.

All the best,
- Dan

Hi Colin
Perfect composition with the boat standing in a strong compo. position., 1/3 sea, 2/3 sky.
Good sidelight warming the boat and the colors of the sky just gives an interesting touch to the overall composition.
A good one.
