Dragon . . . boats
Paddle . . . boats
Lightship . . . boat (Chesapeake)
The dragon boats are what caught my eye, but when I started studying the scene I realized there are several vessel types. With the edit, I tried to draw attention to that instead of how busy the picture is.
Here’s the original:
We took a stroll around Georgetown one day. I don’t remember what house or gardens this pathway is a part of, but cobblestone is always a good choice.
The original: The main edit was going black and white and then “healing” out two magnolia seed pods along the cobblestone.

The original. I lightened up his eye and did some other minor edits.

Obviously, we’re back in Monterey with these March edits. I went out one morning and shot the boats from various angles in the Monterey Bay. I’ll be showing more off probably next week.
This is highly edited, but I love the final look. I layered two different Lightroom presets along with some other adjustments.

This guy and his mate were keeping pretty close to us during our picnic one day. I have never seen this much detail of a duck bill. And check out that catch light.
