How many more days till Spring..
Winter has not been kind thus far for some of us in New England. It has been great for the ski areas up north, but for those who seek an ocean breeze, it has not been to welcoming. To give you a sense of the way it has been thus far, Boston and surrounding the area are on the verge of breaking the all-time record for snow in December, almost 28″ (71cm).
So to get into a better mind set, I decided to revisit some of the images that I took one early evening this summer in Rockport, MA. As you can probably tell ocean settings and in particular Rockport and the Gloucester area are some of my favorite places to capture an image.
Motif #1 (which is really Motif # 2 or Maybe #3 ) is one of those images that almost every wants to capture and one night last summer I was able to get just the reflection I wanted.

When I first captured this image, I was pretty satisfied, however since then I have spent more time with Adobe Lightroom post processing and more recently with Scott Kelby’s 7 Point System .
Today, I went back to see what I could do to adjust this image further with the techniques learned from the 7PS. I also spent sometime removing sea weed from the scene and some minor cropping.
Here is the resulting image -

I still thought it was a little to “cold”, so I made it a little warmer and adjusted the crop -

I’m interested in your thoughts.
Thanks !
