Under Castle Hill

I like this one but the weeds in the lower left corner annoy me. However, cropping seems to destroy the picture. Comments?

Re: Under Castle Hill

I agree about the weeds Gav, however, what you can do to minimise their effect on what is otherwise a good image is a bit beyond my PS skills. I think with some careful cloning you would be able to get rid of most of the twigs that are ruining the reflections of the masts in the water.

That would be the first thing I would try.

I do like the contrast you have managed to get in the image.

By the way, if you were to try cloning the weeds I would be tempted to clone out the crane jib on the top right of the image, as it competes with the mast next to it.

All the best

Steve

Re: Under Castle Hill

I'd say perhaps it needs a little more breathing room at the top?
