"Abandoned"(Decaying on the Land)
I'm not a great lover of vignetting but other than cropping an image i think it suits this poor old boat, i tend to do this effect to highlight the main point of interest and not the clutter which surrounds it, sheldrakes is a very hard place to get a decent image, you cannot get a solitary boat without half a dozen masts protruding into your shot. I get asked quite a few times about my processing, i have merged images before to create a subtle H.D.R. but this has my usual slow exposure sky feature, combined with NIK colour efex pro and viveza software. I know it won't appeal to everyone but i do like the effect myself.
