About the Image(s)
This image was taken with my Sony RX10iv at a focal length of 220, ISO 100, 1600 sec, F5. The vessel was passing by our home on Lake Michigan. However, although the vessel photographed well, the rest of the scene, water and sky, was unremarkable. Therefore, in PhotoShop I enhanced the background with the Generative Fill tool, converted to BW and cleaned up distracting elements. Technically, this may be more manipulation than would be allowed in any competition, but I wanted to submit it here and see what you all think of my result. :)

Hi Ingrid,
Your image caught my eye in a good way. After reading your description, I was wondering if you could share the original image. It may help to see both the before and after to provide you with some feedback.
Best regards,
