 Ran (blackpoint) curves, and globally desaturated the reds & yellows. It was a gray day, so that left the blues I wanted to have stand out. Shadows & Highlights, and smart sharpen.

Composition. I'd have liked to get more of the mast in there, but other ships were in the way and this was the only clean crop I could get from several tries.

The selective desaturation works realyy good here. Very nice point of view and great DOF. Well done.

Lovely half desat...like the composition of rope but mast is bit out of place for me...in middle and half cutted.
