Pole or no pole? Thanks John

I think that the one with the pole is a good picture, but yes, I think that the pole is distracting. So I think the one without it is my favorite.

For a different opinion: I like the pole one better because the image is better balanced with something dark on the left. What's more, John, the trailing rope gives the pole a reason to be, and keeps it from being just a black line.

Hi John, My vote is for no pole... if the pole had an interesting shape to it, or if it was thinner maybe, it might be cool. But as it I think it's more distracting than not. Very nice picture BTW.

This is one of those questions that can generate quite a few different responses -- all of them correct in a way. The rope trailing off the front edge of the picture makes me want to see what is tied to it. If the rope had been trailing in the opposite direction, I think it would lead the viewer into the picture, to the boats in the distance. So, in my opinion, I prefer the image without the pole & rope. Very good clone job, BTW. And a very nice image, John. It makes me miss our beach house in Waveland. Chris

Thanks all, tyhe pole seemed OK when I shot this last night; however, I agree with the majority--the poles goes. Chris, I know how you feel about your beach house. I will expand your sentiments a little--I miss Waveland. John

Yep, ditch the pole Also, how about duplicating the layer, on that layer change it to "screen", then hopefully you will gett a little more detail on the boats (although I know you are probably not after too much detail), then with the erazer tool on a large soft setting, rub away areas that are too overexposed to bring back the normal sun, sky and water etc. Then flatten. Then duplicate the layer again and change that layer to "soft light" then reduce the opacity down until you are happy with it. Then flatten. I would really love it if you gave that a go on a copy of the pic, so I can see what it would look like. Love the photo!

I agree with the majority that the pole should be eliminated.

thanks Natalie and Bob. The pole's gone. natalie, I've tried what you suggested, but apparently I'm not doing it correctly. Can you contact me to give more thorough details. After all, I'm not as young as I once was... John
