Shot this on a small photo excursion south of Bombay at Mandwa, Alibaug last week.
One question to everyone, do I clone the ropes at the right or keep them.

That's an interesting shot.

If I were seeing the image as art I'd remove all three lines.

As an occasional crew on a sailboat, I'd find it odd if they weren't there. With the possible exception of the one leaving the right edge (the higher of the two), I don't think they detract at all.

Hmmmm I think I'd clone them all out....

I'd clone the ones on the right/back of the boat and see what it looks like. That line at the front of the boat might work.

Thank you for the opinion guys. I am planning to clone out the ones at the right of the image. The high one is surely distracting.

I feel the one on the left gives the photo greater depth....

I like reality. Perfect shot just the way it is.

Very cool. Love the low angle.

Personally I'd remove all the ropes. And I'd probably move the white balance colder but that's just my opinion.

Interesting shot btw.

Thank you for the appreciation and the feedback guys. Much appreciated.

I agree. Else the left part of the frame would look too empty.

Thanks for your opinion.
Had visualized the image with a warmer tone, hence the warm white balance. Had tried a colder treatment but stuck to this as I liked this more. Thanks anyways.
