The original photo graph - after my camera computer automatically process it. - any it is close to truth.

The original photo graph of a freighter heading for the Soo Locks and on into Lake Superior.

Linda preparing to catch Holy Perch - ( there the hole in the ice as my camera saw it.

Linda preparing to catch Holy Perch – ( there is a fishing hole in the ice)  – Thus Holy Perch

As I saw it in my mind - I lightened the feeling of the sky and leveled the horizon. Then, I added a misty moon, a subtle star above the moon , and a shaft of light to point your attention to the center. Then I added ice and open lake water to the left(and a large wave to prevent your eye from drifting off the photo), made the foreground ice more consistent and ice like, and of course Linda and her fishing shack. Was this my lie for the day? May I put it in a Photo Gallery? Shall I label it as "The Holy Perch Fisherman - As my mind saw it" ? Is that OK?

Next I gave more feeling to the freighter as it beat around the point with a layer of fog, smoke, and lights. Then I added ice and open lake water to the left(and a large wave to prevent your eye from drifting off the photo), made the foreground ice more consistent and ice like, and of course Linda and her fishing shack. Was this my lie for the day? May I put it in a Photo Gallery? Shall I label it as “The joy of solitude” ? Is that OK?
