That's exactly where I'd like to be right now...on that boat, skimming along the water with not a worry in the world :) Good shot!

Looks like this shot would have been difficult due to what appears to be quite hard light. Wonder if it is worth playing with a curve for the sky to give it more "depth" to the dark parts of the clouds? Just a thought...

Looks like a great spot too...

G'day mate,
Just a thought, if you're new to PP it's best to make all your adjustments in adjustment layers, that way you can always go back and change the adjustment you're making and turn it on and off, change the way it affects areas with masks etc. keeps the file size down too as adjustment layers add bugger all to the filesize...

I notice you're only in Ringwood (I'm in Burwood East) so if you want we can always have a PP night over Chrissy sometime :)

Cheers.
