If it were me, I would certainly give it a try or two with the raw converter. The photo is pretty good. I think the biggest annoyance for me, is that it seems like you could have shifted the image very slightly left, to get the island left edge - what would be sacrificed on the right, I would almost crop out anyway. It would balance the shot just a bit more.
That being said, there is a raw feeling of power about this shot. I can almost feel the wind and weather. The boats and the flag, along with the moon, really add to this photo. So all in all, I like this photo, just wish it shifted a tiny bit to the left. -- Bruce Sunday, July 9, 2006, 7:50:00 PM, you wrote: PJA> With all this talk about the "Magic Hour" I decided to make a pilgrimage PJA> to the shore and take advantage of the light.
