You've not just fixed up the boat, but given Whitby a nicer climate. Nice job Ged! 🙂

Now that is a tough task, and question, Dean.

Jacob - It's not 7 changes, just 1 and perhaps quite subtle.

Blimey, a person could have nightmares after seeing faces like that. I tried several times to first, add outboard motors to the back of the boat, and when that failed completely, I tried to remove the warf behind the boat and add water, and the results were as if I hadn't used any prompt at all. I eventually used Content Aware Fill and got a way better result. I have definitely been thinking that Gen Fill has been getting worse, and Didier's nightmare faces are not causing me to change my mind.

                                                  From the Dogger Bank
                                                  Riding on the tide,
                                                  Equally full of fishes

It appears that the dock also floats on the tide 🙂

Dave, owing to the catch from the Dogger Bank the boat is lower in the higher water as seen by the shallower reflexion without the deepest shade, the lowering exactly countering the rising tide so the boat floats at the same height relative to the dock.
