I really like both of the fractalius-ized boats, but this is my fav! I love the angle & the name is great!! Beautiful color, almost painterly but a step above just that...extremely wall-worthy!
Oh... this one is even better than the other one. Has the same links/story, but the perspective of the ship, and the patterns in the water make this even more aesthetically pleasing than the previous on. Outstanding shots and processing.
I just love what the lensbaby brings to the party. I wasn't sure about the blown sky when I first looked, but after going back and really looking I find that it doesn't detract for me. I also thing the real beauty in this shot is the reflection. Stunning.
As PIXEL said, this pair mounted together woudl look great......... Excellent work. Really love that effect and teh subject with all teh clear lines and great contrast is just perfect. This is what this forum is all about, getting to see how others presented subjects. I'm going away now to investigate this method........ Great!
Ooohh, the reflections in this one are killer! I was playing with your crop, give a try cropping off the top right below the shoreline, so all you see is the bottom portion of the boat with the pilings and the reflection. Love it!
