All my images are taken in the RAW-format. So there's a need to edit and convert them to the PNG-format before they are uploaded. For this RAW-editing I'm using the Photoshop plug-in 'Adobe camera Raw'. To do this with this image was a pretty hard and time consuming job, because it's an 'against the light image'. I prefered however to take the image at the starboard side (against the light) of the ancient wooden fishing boats instead of the port side (sunlight in my back), because I wanted the tiny old town of Veere as a backdrop. This image was taken while sailing on the Lake of Veere. On the left side of the sailing boats you can see 'De Campveerse toren' and Veere's Townhall steeple. On the right side you can see the traditional windmill 'The Cow'.

Hope I've achieved the best possible result, and that you'll like this image. Thanks in advance for your comment.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Mr. C. I do the same thing with my images, I convert them also. I think you managed this very well under those light conditions. I do remember the cow, and that steeple from previous postings of yours, I think this is a splendid image. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Great framing of the elements in this one. This would make a good advertising photo.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Olympic level shot, Cornelius. I thought that I went to great lengths to get a shot, but I think you've surpassed my finest effort. Your hard work and forethought paid off. Your mastery of your software and your camera are a thing of beauty as is this scene. I see nothing but positive comments above; so I'll simply add, "Me Too!!"
