OCEAN SUNSET

"Ocean Sunset" (10-7-15 003v3p) is an old morph of an old pic, just further fudged with a few days ago and a tiny bit this morning. Have somewhat mixed feelings about it, but overall like it enough to post. Probably mostly because I actually like that scratchy effect. Usually I'd go right after that scratchy look with diffuse or blur or some such filter to get rid of it. I often wonder how much of certain editing tendencies of mine are truly aesthetic choices, or just habits -- the pull of the familiar. So here I both like the scratches and am a little uncomfortable with them. Maybe that's all to the good. I need to explore new territory (and not just in my photo work, in my life as a whole).
