I kept the white cuts on the bow to help even out the lightness and darkness of the image. It sort of seems random at first, but after a while of looking at it with the cuts, it sort of fits in place nicely. This is also why I centered the lense flare. Normally i would have put it on the bottom left corner, but the position of the photo would have made it look wierd. But i didnt want to put it in the top right, the more probable place, because that's where the shadow is. But i kept it in the pic to also "give light to that shadow." I took a neat picture of a ship and copied it at least seven times and did color adjustments to it for this final piece. I liked the maroon as the sky and the blackened masts. This is sort of a logo for me. Hope you like it!! ^^
