Stage Harbor Chatham MA, about 1 hr before sunset. A brief thunderstorm came through about 30 min earlier. The boats were all still wet and shining in the low angle sun. They looked like they were glowing
Specific Feedback Requested
I tried several approaches to capture the glow that I saw, is this too much?
All feedback appreciated.

Welcome aboard, Glenn. An enjoyable first post. I really like the warm light and glow of the Donna Jean. I would not mind seeing the top of the rigging on the boat as it feels just a little cut off and maybe burn down the bow of the yellow boat coming in from the left. The dark, almost threatening sky provides a real nice contrast to the warm light. Good mood to the image, too.
Hey Glenn, welcome to NPN. Nice first post. I like the warm feel against the cool, dark background. Like Harley mentioned, it would be nice to see the top of the masts. Maybe pointing the camera up a bit would have done that. That would also have grounded the boat a bit closer to the bottom edge.
All in all, a lovely image and I certainly hope to see more of your work. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about NPN.
