Boats in Fog

I would be grateful to know what you think of the toning in this

picture, and what you think could be done to improve it.

Hmmm...I really like this one! I would have prefered to see the rope in the bottom-left corner be removed. Other than that, the image seems too "square", widening the shot by including the whole of the larger boat would have been a vast improvement, but I'm half-tempted to ask for a framed print because the quality is great :)

I do like the tone. It is a very nice image.

I'd not have known this was a digital alteration, except that you put it in this category. Do I assume correctly that the major alteration was the background?

Looks like a painting. Quite unusual treatment for a common theme.
