Very nice photos Randy.

The only thing I can suggest is that perhaps some of the shots are a little flat and might benefit from curves, contrast and sharpening. You have Image Editing OK so I had a quick play with the bridge.

What do you think?

To bad the boats are cropped - would be nice to see the whole boat in both above.
I think they could all use a boost in "local contrast" - they are a bit flat.
Do a Google search on this term as there are a number of ways to correct using this approach - it is NOT the same as "contrast".

I agree that they all could use increased contrast. Since the bridge image has been tweaked, I thought I'd try my luck with it. In addition to increased contrast, I also upped the vibrance and did a curves adjustment too.

This is just to give you an idea for other possibilities with these images.

Thanks Losercanon,Spike44 and navydoc. I am new to ps but will do a search as sugested on local contrast and curves. I did some sharpening but looks like not enough. There were seveeral boats with these and when I tried to get the whole boat I got alot of other boats and stuff.

I do like the edits better. Prefer the contrast look more than the vibrance but it shows me I have alot to learn

I like the colors in that one much more, Gene. However, the darkened area in the steel structure is a turn off.

Sorry I turned you off Gary. :D The different shades of reds in the steel structure was already there but made more noticable when I pulled down the mid tones. This was just a quick example of another possibility for the OP. I think the richer colors actually bring out a bit more detail.

These are great - makes me miss the coast. I assume the boats were shot out by the SilverSlipper Casino?

Ah! That was going to be my second guess. I've shot down there a lot too.

Like I said, makes me miss my old home!
