Very nice work,Rob. I can see a use for this in my photography to. I have experimented with adding a layer and raising or lowering the brightness,then painting in the change.This bracketing may be just the ticket in helping reduce the really bright whites in the jumps.
I really like the sun/sky behind the boat.Makes me want to be there.
