This was a fun shot to play around with. The original image was just a random click of a sailboat in the water outside of Grand Marais Harbor in Minnesota. Typically it would have just been trashed, but as I had no sailboats in my collection, I decided to play around with it to see if I could add any interest worth publishing. I added a little texture work, drama in the skies, and the lightning. You can see the transformation using the slider.


I have added the texture file I used when I created this to the shop as a free download if you would like a copy for your library.
