Mike looking at this again I think if you had gotten there earlier you would have gotten more of the light you wanted...granted you would have lost the texture of the detail of the boat.....but with a grad filter it would open up the bottom for detail like Andy said. I know this comment was posted a while back but thought it was neat how you have to 2 side by side..maybe some others can benefit from it as well.

but....it is your own ...from negative to print is part of the process..nothing wrong with manipulation of the final image to portray your vision unless you are a journalist,btw...a graduated n/d filter would help maintain detail in the darker foreground while capturing the sunset glow

I don't know what I was thinking...i used reala film not provia. I've never even used provia. I was really tired last nite when i posted this. It's print film....sorry. The question was just to get opinions...i would never try and pass the top image off as my own.

Chris; Mike shot this on Trans film...Provia is a tranny film...no film would have pulled the bottom image up to the top image...however if it is ok to use filters for enhancement than it is certainly ok to bring your vision to fruition useing "shop"...the top image is a bit over the top but it is acceptable to do so....art is not the preparation nor medium...but it is the result...

to further go down the rabbit hole....scan the negative of the print you have and you will see one more variation on the color scheme and tone...I understand what you are saying though. I personally try to use my photoeditor as little as possible, for the simple reason I am new to photography as an art and am still working on photography basics. I think another route you can go if you want to stay strictly on regular photography is to change films...each has its own characterstics...its like paint for a paintbrush. Read John Shephard's article on landscapes and Nanettes on film selection....hope this helps and I'm sure others more knowledgeable will give you better insight.
