Big little boat - little big ships. Isn't perspective marvelous?

Good one Dennis. Great composition, colours and contrasts, except for that horizon of course. This is not a job for Hidden Power. You simply rotate the image clockwise a bit, which is very simple in PSE2 (or PSE) by using the rotate function. It helps to turn the grid on when you are rotating so that you can easily see when the horizon is level. I'm not sure how to turn grids on and off in PSE2, but the shortcut in PS CS is Ctrl-'. If you get the rotation amount wrong, undo that action and try a different value as more errors are introduced if you rotate a number of times on top of previous rotations. You then need to crop to get rid of the blank parts around the edges from the rotation to reveal your perfect result! :o) Cheers, John

You're right, Alain, but I've not reached the section in Hidden Power of PS Elements that deals with how to fix this problem. Maybe for the next challenge. (smiles)

Great take on the theme with contrasting colors and nice view. Horizon needs a little levelling though.
