Remask (and other masking in editor) adjust & flood.

[Dennis Bishop]

Very pretty, and the boat is nicely placed with respect to the uppermost cloud.

[gary ellwein]

Nicely composed with rich warm tones.

[Diane Miller]

Great composition and treatment -- as usual! Love that thin line of land on the horizon and the dramatic clouds and water.

I wonder about a little bit of wake with that much wind in the sails.

[Adhika Lie]

Beautiful Mitch. I really love the mood you have here but I was looking for the wake behind the boat, too. If you don't mind my asking: when you said "flood", what do you mean by that?

[Mitch Carucci]

Diane,

You are right, it needs a wake. I just got lazy... but will add a small wake.

Thanks.

Adhika,

Flood is one of my favorite plugins! It does all sorts of water/waves/reflections. The company is "Flaming Pear" and they have a free trial. They just upgraded the software with many new features, but unfortunately, the new version is much slower on my system, so this is the older version.

Hi, Mitch, another vote for a wake of some sort. The sky is gorgeous!!!

[Nancy Bell]

That sky is magnificent! I like the nice clean lines and just black & white for the sailboat. For me it is mostly a way to sail off into that sky! Ditto on the need for a wake.

[Anita Bower]

Lovely. Great sky. Sailboat stands out nicely.
