Description
Hi everyone!
This is one of those shots that I mentioned in my previous upload,that I have worked and reworked and reworked ad nauseum,lol.Well,today I scrapped everything I had ever done to it,and started over...yet again...grrrr...LOL.This time I decided to do as little to it as possible and just be done with it once and for all!
This is the final result...and I hope you like it,because I'm NEVER touching it again,lol.
As always,thank you for taking the time to have a looksee and your valuable comments/opinions are most appreciated.Hope y'all had a wonderful weekend and have a beautiful week ahead of you.
All my best,
Hugggggs,
Marlene :^)

An old saying comes to mind...."less is more." #:op Its soooo easy getting stuck in the postwork-swamp, that it clouds your judgement. You did the right thing by going back to the original and get a fresh new look/start on it. And you made it look absolutely gorgeous!!!! Beautiful colors and lines....and ya just gotta love that Puff-dragon....."Meet the Parents" comes to mind, lol. Very classy stuff Marlene!!!!! Have a wonderful evening!!!! #:O)

Well this looks fabulous to me - definitely no more postwork needed (I would have been tempted to change the name of one of the other boats to 'Pong' but perhaps that is what you did). Lovely shot as alwsy Marlene - Good Tones, colour, exposure, etc :)

I echo Andreas' words here, it's so easy to get lost in postworking. Love the clean lines in this one, and of course Puff is adorable, he wakes up songs in my memory.

'ping' is the correct word ... after working on and on the final result is very near to the original (your words) and it is one of the finest shots I've seen in RR lately (this is worth the LWITG ...). BRAVO !!!

if i remember correctly, Ping was the name of a duck from china my Mother used to read it to me at bedtime!! .. its a fun word to say "PING!!" beautiful capture !
Margana
I think the 'Ping!' in this case refers to a brand of golf clubs,but who knows?...And it certainly is a fun word to say!!!

A fine photo that won't take a BACK seat to anything! (bad pun...sorry) No need to stress out about postwork! :0)
jocko500
very fine shot. some photos you can do just so much and that it. We have to learn when "that it" is lol

How come i can go out and take 1000 shots of sailboats, and nine turn out with such a great POV as this.hmmmm. I do love the different names on boats, don't you? Th clarity here is spectacular, and the day was perfect for this type of shot. Pinggggggggggggg

I know the problem myself, it is just never good enough, and only one tries everthing it comes to ones mind realizes that the best is as it is.
VDH

I have a photo in mind to dedi to you after this, which will only be by way of inspiration - not subject matter. You will know it when you see it hehehe!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who postworks for hours only to realise the original is best!! Hope you have a great week too. ST.
TwoPynts
Good! Never touch it again - it is perfect! I have to wonder what the backstory to the PING! name is though. A great photo and humorous as well. =o]
KiwiMiss
Looks perfect to me .... great colours, light and a hint of intrigue over the names of the boats :) Hmmm is your signature getting smaller or is it just my imagination?
Richardphotos
do not know why you was unhappy with it. you got imagination, geometric lines,shadows, and sailing all in one. marvelous to view

Always love going to the shore and reading the names people give their boats! You captured 3 classic ones here! The strong diagonals created by your compo...really pull my eyes into the frame.
