Don Ferguson Jr.: View from Mt Battie Camden harbor Maine
Hi Don,
This is a very pretty view and no doubt a favorite scene for photographers. I missed this yesterday as I was out and then tonight I discovered it and am pleased to see this new work. Let me be the first to comment!
The lit street lamps and the reflections in the water make nice patterning across the right side of the image. This increases the weight of the shoreline, so the left side could easily be increased to balance this, (even if there are no more boats to be included). The bright area all the way to the lower right edge of the image, coming from the street/parking area below the lit building, could be dimmed at the edge, else the eye is pulled off the picture. It would be great if there was a little more image to the right and we went just beyond where that bright area naturally dims.
I hope this comes from a larger photograph or that you have other images also to share to see more on either side.

Glad you enjoyed the photo and hope it brought back memories.Rachel Foster said:We honeymooned in Camden in 94. Thanks for posting
I will not make comments other than the fact that I like the whole scene and gives you a view of an entire community. I am sure the other input has been of value and not need for me to comment further.
Don,You are better at PP them meI guess you used dodge and burn tool with multiply blend and added canvas using clone to do boats? You are right it does put more emphasis on the boats .

Hi Don,So I guess you used masks to make those changes ? I probably need to get PS cs4
