I took about 10 photos at the same spot - Not sure which one will be the final version. Plus it has to be resized to fit the contest requirements. All TBD....
My thought is for the camera to be higher so the water line at the horizon is unbroken by the FJR.

Well, now that we're picking at nits, that glove on the seat also needs to be removed in post-processing.

I'm always taking pictures and then am like "Damnit! Stupid gloves!" Then I have to take the picture again. :(

At least as is, you know it’s a real photo and not AI generated/fixed, or overly processed/edited.

I think keep it as is, as it perfectly represents that moment in time.

Well, Pants has about 10 shots of this scene so I'm just saying I'd favor one which puts the bike below the water horizon.
