Thats a very nice shot, very peaceful ... you should try cloning, it's quite easy for something like this as the water doesn't need to match up too well and its a great tool for removing stuff there is no other way to remove.

I did this in about 3 minutes.


Used a clone brush of about 80 pixels at first with a hardness of about 50%. Took some water from the left of the boat and cloned the hull out in 2s. Used a much smaller clone brush, 8px, with hardness of 100% to remove the mast from the hull of the boat, I zoomed right in and lined up the clone brush with the brown and white border and then the same with the blue white border. Same small brush to get the mast out.

Same principal with the boat at the rear, lined up the clone brush with the horizon to make sure they matched .... the whole thing took less time than writing this, it's a little crude and could be done better with the original and a little more time spent :)

Just noticed your shutter and aperture settings, if you had used AV setting and f/16 or f/11 your shutter speed would still be around 1/100 or 1/200 and you would have got more dof (ie more focus through the shot)

For every f-stop you change (bearing in mind your lens will change in 1/3 of a stop) you get twice (or half) as much light.

So in your case f/5 @ 1/1000
if you stop down 1 full f-stop to f/7.1 then you get half as much light and therefore you need a shutter speed of 1/500 for the correct exposure.

How many beers did you have to give him before he let you take the shot :) I really like the slight blur of the background, adds atmosphere to this

This is a great shot, I love the pov and I really like how you can see through the hull of the boat.
