About the Image(s)
I took this photo in June 2026, during a lovely late afternoon in Port Clyde, Maine??”a bustling lobstering community. I really liked the original silhouette, so I adjusted the exposure just a bit to help the subject pop while adjusting the background making it a bit darker. I also expanded the left side and turned it into a monochromatic image to give it a calming feel.
