An attempt to see how far I could go in isolating a detail without losing all meaningful definition. (Time weighs heavy in isolation, doesn't it? There's only so much sourdough one man can bake.)

The PiP shows the original picture of the MY Bob Barker owned by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, moored at the time in Hobart, Tasmania after trailing the whalers in the Southern Ocean in April 2011.

Comments and criticisms as to whether the objective is worth the effort will be gratefully received and considered.

I think this is a creditable result, but i am a lover of shadow and even near-total blackness for the sake of contrast and startling effect. I blame the Lightroom software. It has opened up possibilities never before possible. Your crop from the original photograph is possibly too severe to achieve a really strong result, but the activity is worth persisting with. As for the isolation: that too is worth persisting with. The alternative is best avoided. At least we can surf the internet which was not an option in earlier pestilences.

I take your point about the severity of the crop, but that was part of the challenge I'd set myself, viz. to see how much I could reduce the crop and still be able to retain (or re-create) definition. The definition was re-created as much as possible using an on-line app called imglarger, which had the advantage of being free for trial purposes and gave results that not even Lightroom could achieve. If I were doing something important then I would perhaps crop differently. Good fun, though. Thanks for taking the time to comment in depth.
