Iam after suggestions for this one.

The shots were taken a couple of years ago and were very ordinary, very underexposed, in an effort to rescue them I decided to do the selective colour on the boat. The intent of the the composite image is to print it at A3+ and frame it, the framing mask will cover what you can now see as the beveled edge around each image and the title will be printed on the mask if it can be done. The first title I tryed was "Waiting - Shetland Isles UK"

I know that the boat on the left sits lower than the other two, so I will have to recrop and move it up. Please make any suggestions for improvement or play with the image to show me your ideas.

Thanks

Here is another version for your C+C. I took on board some comments especially those of my wife and have come up with a version that I like better than the first. I cropped the outer boats square with the centre to match and swapped the outer boats from side to side. I know that makes the boats point out of the picture, but, bugger the rules, I like it. More importantly my wife likes it.

Craig, like the concept. Personally I would just crop the over exposed bottom third.

I don't mind the overexposed part, especially if it blends with the mask. If it were mine I would try increasing the contrast of the water a little. The leading lines work really well, are they present at all in the center shot original?

I think that Glen's on the right track here.

I would crop each of the images, basically cropping the two outer ones square, and then just cropping the inner image to match.

That would leave you with a nice triptych in a pano format.

Thanks guys.

I think I will try the square crop pano idea and see what it looks like.

The contrast on the water has been increased significantly but with little effect. The middle shot does have the mooring lines but leaving them in leaves too much empty space in the shot.
