Chica in Sepia

[Stan Hesketh]

Just playing really with some of the shots I took recently of a sunken boat called "Chica." I changed them to Sepia with Picasa and changed the contrast slightly. As I am relatively new to manipulating images with software, is there anything I can do to improve these?
Many Thanks.

i like the sepia, good job with the editing. i like the comps of the first and second, but the last one is my favorite. i kind of wish there was a little more room around the boat to see more of the environment.

agree with Beth on the last comp - the boat stands out from the background nicely in this shot

worth a revisit if it's local?

get some nice reflections of the boat in the water, maybe try a long exposure to blur the water out?

Thanks for tips. I will be down that river again sometime, so will try some more shots, maybe with some XP2 in the Spotty. Will take a tripod too.

This is the only shot I have which when uncropped, shows a a little more of the surroundings:

Nice, but I agree with Beth and the last shot works better for me I think.
