    Very nice. Thoughts on this one: It could use a tad more saturation and I would suggest getting rid of the little piece of handrail that cuts across the bottom LH corner.

    Another option with this image may have been to shoot right along the boardwalk, so that you were following it as it climbed the hill. Absolutely nothing wrong with your choice however.

    BTW, where is that? It looks like Dartmouth, out Eastern Passage way...

    Here is the new pic with the handrail cropped out and the saturation higher, what do you think?

    Okay, I know exactly where that is now. Nope, not a Bluenoser, but I did live in Dartmouth for a few years (late 80s-early 90s) up around Penhorn Mall.

    I like your second version better; now, your next challenge is to learn how to work with layers and do selective adjustments. What would really make this image pop would be to adjust the white in the clouds separately from the blue in the sky. What software are you using?
