this is simply fantastic - the picture has so much texture! I love the state of the boat, and the cracked mud leading up to it really enhances the overall feel of everything being flaky and dry

personally, i'd want to give it a bit more presence- contrast and colour to really accentuate the depth in texture, but you have a real winner here

Many thanks - comments greatly appreciated

Derek - not too sure that painting the bottom would be any good as it certainly did not ook seaworthy from the other side.

Jon - will try your suggestion, but I did pull a lot from the image as the side was in shade.

cheers

doesn't have to be much - just dragging the left hand bit in on the levels box makes a difference
