That would be a beautiful picture if some guy wasn't standing in the middle of it.

Actually, it makes one wish they were on the water.

I like the way that the sun is cupped inside of the cabin shape and it also gives salty dog a halo !
Great shot DE ! Rich colors !

That pic looks so photoshopped it ain't funny.

It does because the sun is behind him but he is completely lit in the front. Photoshopped or some kind of special lighting was used.

Awesome!! Curious what it would look like cropped with him further to the right so it has more of the thirds rule. Also less light from the front on the bottom and right side. Maybe dark in the bottom right corner and far right side and blend into the light keeping his upper body and face lit up well. I’m not saying it would make it better, just curious what it would look like.

In other forums I have read you see lots of comments about the having the horizon straight. It’s real close and it doesn’t bother me but it will some people are critical about it.
