I am not to big on these but if you are looking for opinoins :scratch if you grop it down so the mountains are gone and it's more about the boat i like it better ,I did that by scrolling down and found I like the shot -- more. if you did not want an opinion :dunno then I take it back :D

Thats a very different take on it mate. Mine is of him way at the end with the 400mm & its a tad out of focus.

I think we spooked him a little :rofl

if it were me/I, I would not want an opinion, but ............ I used to mess with watercolors and my daughter does them.

Would it not look more like a watercolor if it were not so saturated. Looks kind of surreal to me right now.

Nice shot, and I do like those filter thingies. Gosh I joined here putting big frames on my photos and noticing that not many of the filter affects were being used. Good to see PS put to work.

thanks for your inputs...i can get too caught up in the process and not see the results. so, i took all your suggestions and redid the photo...croped it, lessened the saturation, and played with the hue a little. thanks...i think it's much better now. i understand that "painting" a photo can ruin it for a lot of photographers.
