Original photo Adjusted photo

Drew Hilton found an opportunity on his honeymoon to capture some photos. This one was taken with a Fuji F31fd at f/8, ISO 100. A few small adjustments can make an impact on this photograph. I cloned out the dark object in the water that was too small to recognize, and it didn't add anything to the photo. I straightened the horizon, cropped out the white bar at the bottom, made some adjustments in levels, curves and added a little saturation just to add some pop. The photo has great graphic lines, the point of the boat draws you out to the storm.
