Based on the suggestions from BPN members in my previous version of this shot (http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=44221), I decided to do a little 'creative' post-processing. I moved the boat closer to the sun and composed vertically from there.
I hope you like! Let me know what your thoughts are.
This shot was still taken in my point-and-shoot days, and was taken on our honeymoon in Mozambique.
Colours as seen in that moment. It was magical.

Morkel, by the rule book this might be an improvement over the OP. IMHO, the appeal of the first one is lost here. OP gave a feel for the vastness of the sea and i miss that here. A large format print of the OP would be a killer.
thanks Ramesh - I too like the first post more because that is how I saw it on the day, no editing done.
this posted merely to show I applied suggestions and to see what others now think.

Hey Morkel,
I prefer the OP too.....but the pano version:D......since we were still playing.....I moved the boat some more and cropped....closer to what I had in mind but do remember that it wasn't possible anyway. I am not particularily fond of moving things to "create" the image......so OP is the way to go.....this is just to show the possible strength of such a presentation.
