Default By Boat? By Train? On Foot?
I took this picture with a Kodak EasyShare LS753, a 5.0 MP point and shoot.
I don't know what the settings were on though, Sorry :\

All I have done with his photo so far is Crop a bit of the sky out. I'm not exactly experienced with Photoshop, I'm not really experienced in the field of photography at all to be honest. This photo seems like it needs something more, but I don't quite know what.

Is this photo even worth editing, or should I just start over next time I go to this location?

Help Please!!

Pfssss, I hate when people "change" the sky by putting in a new one. They almost always look like crap. The photo looks fairly good as is. It's intriguing. I would just try to straighten out the horizon as it appears to be crooked. Overall, nice!

if you are going to do anything to the sky - I would either adjust curves, or a bit of manual dodge and burning. DON'T'shop it out and put a new one in lol.
