As I took this picture, we were drawing close to our destination, less than an hour into the pacific, and the point this time is to illustrate this feeling of direction among an unpredictable sea that extends on every direction. The intent of direction is illustrated by the stick going out of the boat, which sort of points to the clouds and the island to the left. I could have make the composition so that the boat seemed to aim directly at these things, but that was not the point. I know I hardly ever find myself zooming right onto target. Serendipity is a close friend, fortunately. I did have to raise the contrast levels to make the cloud visible, and toy around with the sharpness to make the sea look, well, sharp, hard to get across, though I did wanted to keep the cloud as more of an ethereal presence.
