It is often fun to go back and take old photos from when I was just starting photography and see what I can do to improve them with new digital processing skills I have learned. I really liked this photo when I shot it and thought it was a very unique image that I was luck to capture. It was shot on a fishing trip as we raced out to the fishing grounds after a storm had broken. We saw this rainbow in the sky by this gigantic cargo ship waiting just outside the port. I convinced my friend to race the boat into a position that framed the boat under the rainbow. He agreed and I captured the base image you see here.
It was a nice image but I then applied some techniques I have learned such as generating some more tonal range by blending and tone mapping multiple images that had exposure corrections done. I then added some burning and dodging and the last touch was to combine two of my textures from my personal collection. The final Image is below which I think really change my original image from a snap shot to a piece of digital art below. What do you all think?
