Edit #2 by Dan

Buffalo

Well... I liked all the boats in the back, so MANY of them, but the lil' rowboats were so far away... so I moved them closer! Well, just the big one :-) I guess this does qualify as more advanced editing, I did more than remove a boat or two. I MOVED one, and altered reality. I did this to Honor the original shooter with his message tag that says something like: All pictures are the same, they lie. (I forget things easy, but it's something like that) Moving the boat was easier said than done. but I did allow the image editor to perform much of the work, in the end, I used some selection tools to remove more of the water behind the boat, so I could put it convincingly in front of the other small rowboat. I also scalped the rest of the boats in back (those rich boy toys) to make them appear closer to the little guys, and chopped off to make them feel like they are just too big to fit in the frame and increase the feeling of TOOOOO MANY! Blending the water around the red rowboat was down with various levels of Chroma transparency and the ever wonderful "touch-up" tool. the the move was mostly a manual mechanical job. T'was fun though!

Hey Clay...

I never thought of moving the rowboat closer. Great idea!
