I took this photo off Bora Bora a couple of years ago, and have always liked it for the fact that there is hardly any color in it... This has not been touched up.
Yes, the monochrome effect is nice and the photo has a serene effect.
It needs a 1.5 rotation clockwise to straighten the horizon and probably could use to have the line (wire, rope?) in the upper left and the dark corner in the upper right cloned out.
Thanks, I am still learning, and stuff happens... So much to learn, and so little time...... One of these days just perhaps I might get a perfect picture... As we usta say in the Nav, even a blind hog gets an acorn every now and then...
