Ever SaveForWeb, but forget to save the damn PSD? Well I have to reprocess this image :mad: Tell me if it's worth the effort...

Curtis, this is nice. I assume you shot this from a tripod at full height? My suggestion, if so, would be to have lowered the tripod nearly to the dock level and composed this such that the dock end was nearer to the top of the frame. To me, the composition as is now is too centered for my tastes.

I like the idea Curtis but something is missing....the overall scene looks a bit hazy to me

have you tried this in Black and White?

Not much grabbing attention here Curtis. I think the perspective on the boats and dock is nice but the trees and sky are lacking something. Like Darren said, they seem kind of hazy. This may be workable but, I guess it depends on how far you've taken it already.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
I think I've taken the processing as far as I care to. Any more and I'd just be "trying to save a crappy photo" as it were :)
Darren, I hadn't thought of B&W, I'll see how it looks.

My wife likes it so she'll probably insist I reprocess it and print it for her. :rolleyes:
