Douglas,
The title and comments was leading me to believe I was going to see
some land and maybe some sub tropical views of your home. To my dismay
all I saw was the same view I have of rednecks, in their trashed row
boat, motoring out to drink and fish. Even the peligans were looking
on with disgust for those two to be out on the water.

Well I don't believe you can tell they are rednecks or that they are
going fishing from the photo. Part of this is because a 8 bit png
just does not have enough colors to let us really see the image. I
have seen any number of image where 256 colors is enough, but this is
not one of them. If this image is going to work at all it really
needs to be able to show us the subtle colors in the image, it does
not.

It all most looks like the men are wearing some kind of uniform, but
again with the limited colors you just can't tell.

The boat does not look trashed to be, other then by reducing its
colors to 8 bits, and it is just a bit more then a row boat.

As far as the photo goes it looks washed out from looking towards the
sun and perhaps taken with a fairly long lens? A bit of work with an
adjustment layer could keep the haze look in the background but remove
much of the washed out look in the foreground.
