Despite Scotland's ban on Fracking we are not averse to importing someone else's gas. Currently on the news is a piece about the first shipment of fracked shale gas, from the USA, being delivered to Grangemouth. Unfortunately strong winds have stopped the Ineos Insight from berthing as planned and she is lying in the Firth of Forth waiting for the wind to drop.
My photograph, taken about 8 months ago, shows her lying off Kirkcaldy.
Nikon D80, 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR lens, Manual mode, 1/125 sec, f6.3, ISO 100, 450mm lens equivalent, processed in Photoshop CC 2015.5.
Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".

Revisited the original and produced this monochrome image.
And just for interest, I have included the original image.

Nicely done Jocko. What did you use to change the original so well? I am still trying to get to grips with Paintshop Pro.

Most of what was done was done in Lightroom, from the original raw image. I did a little polishing of the colour image in Photoshop.
The monochrome was all Lightroom, then converted to B/W using Google's free software, SilverEfex Pro 2.

Did you use the dehaze featuire in lightroom?

Yes Craig, I do use the Dehaze feature, though it is a rather blunt instrument and has to be used very carefully and sympathetically.

Bravo, John.

Take my advice. I'm not using it.

That dehaze feature is great! PS has come on a long way since my early version :-) I like the mono version - it brings out the cranes / industry on the far shore, whereas the colour version has that lovely orange section which tends to grab the eye.
