Heh... the same ISO800 on this as my other boat shot. Same old story about
the n00b shooting in deep shade one moment, sees some boats and forgets all else. ;-)

I've debated all day whether to upload this, as I'm not sure anyone will buy into it.
I've had this idea of wanting to "hand paint" some photos for awhile now. I don't
have a yen to do real hand painting, but using digital brushes sounded cool. So, that's
what I did. Painted my little heart out. It's a little over the top color-wise, but in
the end I decided I liked it a lot. The other thing I did was to go a little ways back
to my beginnings and added some texture layers, using bump maps.
