Hi Alma Bid Warm Welcome !!!!!!!

Peaceful and beautiful I like the feel very much !! ... got a suggestions for you !! Try opening the image in PS and open the level dialog box. Hold the alt key and drag the left slider to the right until you see dark areas coming up, repeat with the right slider moving to the left. When you finish try moving the middle to taste. Will find the image will lighten up a little, might like it !!!

Let me know how it works !!! Looking forward to many more !!!

Welcome to the BPN family...:)
I like your composition and capture. Like Mr. Forns said; the feel and the mood is simply beautiful of a peaceful sleepy little port. I made a few adjustments to your image; see if you like...:D:cool:

Alma my suggestion with levels is straight forward and simple Will work for most images as a starting point.

I prefer working with curves but might get you in trouble so start with the levels. If you need help please send a pm !!!!

Hope we can see many more.

Good composition, sharpness, and crop. I love boat photos, and for me, this is a great one.
