    Yacht Watching

    Not sure if this is the right place...

      I rather like that. I think its the way he's holding his stick and resting against the rail.

      I'd be tempted to look at a crop from the top making it more square and making the focus close in more on the man and his posture. But that is just me.

        Thanks Guys. Di, I might give the crop a go, thanks for the suggestion.

          How's this? I think it's better. I think I must try and move away from my obsession with keeping local content in my shots.

            Wayne, yup that's definitely better with the focus squarely on the watcher rather than the scene. As it happens, the shot has more boats in it so there is also more interest in what he is looking at. Reducing the yellow road markings has improved it too. So a great suggestion from Di.

              ooh different shot. But the crop suits it. I still like how he's stood leaning and the way is hand is on his stick. I think its also to do with this stick, its not one of the modern aluminum clicky things.

              On the original was thinking of something like this. The man is on the third and leaning into the shot. (hope that makes sense)

              Ps. Already gone from the computer, will take from here if you wish.

                Di, no that's fine. I saw him when I got out of my car and took half a dozen quick shots. The image I used for the crop works better for me as he's looking left at the boats and the background retains some interest. Ultimately the crop idea was the right way to go, just debatable on how to actually do it. Thanks for the help.
