EVOLUTION OF A PHOTOGRAPH

Castaway Boats, 1987/2013

One of the nicer things about the square format is that it enables the photographer to crop either vertical or horizontal, or to leave it square. My process on this image has been one of discovery. It took me several days to come up with this composition. Perhaps I went a step too far (I will look at all the variations again and again and ultimately pick the "winner"), but I think I am nearly finished with this one. I still need to decide whether or not to tone it.

I think I will wander down to the area where this used to be, to see how it has changed.
