Unfortunately, the boat just did not go into the light spot that I had asked some higher force to provide. If I ever lay my hands on the captain …
Anyway, maybe you can help out and put the boat into the spot where it belongs and eventually adjust the light accordingly!?

Looking forward to see your most innovative solutions for this problem.

I think the boat being in juuuust the wrong spot makes this a great shot anyway :slight_smile: !

I agree with @mino. The boat being in the right place would be a bit boring and unoriginal as everyone aims for that. Unique imperfections are more valuable IMO.

I was unable to do what you asked but here is my edit so that I can see the boat .

Instead of moving the boat you extended the circle of light, correct? Very clever.

True. For moving the boat I would have needed GIMP. But I wanted to restrict the edit on darktable.

Not as good as Uli’s version (never as good as Uli’s), but a good exercise anyway. :grinning:

The hole in the cloud was just a bit too small.

Good is very much a matter of taste on a photo edit. Looking at the moment just with the Smartphone on this thread, I can’t really judge any edit. But at least on my phone yours look good as well

If you ever get to ask the Almighty who shone the light off-target, maybe? :wink:

Yeah, that’s an option too. I hope though that I will not meet him personally too soon.

You did what I was looking for. :grinning:
But instead of putting it at the desired spot … don’t know if I should cry or laugh?! :slightly_smiling_face:
How did you make the masking of I may ask?
