Flocci plays with the GIMP

 

I decided to play with a photo in the GIMP (that is the GNU Image Manipulation Program, a free photoshop like program). Here is the result. I imported the RAW image and played with the white balance, using linear curves and I boosted the saturation. This lead to a really dramatic, and excessively dark image. I lightened the water to make it stand out more and boosted the red in the logo on the side of the ship. I cloned out two distracting objects and reduced the brightness of the blue box on top and near the center of the boat.

 

What do you think of the final result? My opinion is that it is a bit excessive, but cool looking.
