Perhaps more in these lines.


Yeah, I know, but there is no way I can crop out the whole appartment block ;-)

I figured I would show the buoy and the customer can put there text or whatever in the photo.

I assume that not commenting on the other photos, they are ok? LOL

Ok maybe I will just isolate the buoy, or reshoot the photo in the morning when the sun is on the other site of the water so I can photograph the water in the background with trees instead of buildings

Why not?
You'd probably need to replace the background from the top down to the green with a generic sky shot but should be possible without too much effort.

But yep, re-shooting with an eye on the background may be "easier". :-)

Replace the entire background in under 30 seconds if not quicker.

Thats what I did in the first place. I took generic sky shots today as well. But then I had to cut trees in half as well. So I had to clone out trees, fences, and then the whole watermill on the right side. Too much work. Working on something else now.

Under 10 seconds more like right around 5.

I left the building there so you can see it is taken from that pic.

Crop showing the grass OOF, but the Buoy is in focus. Not sure if a photoshop like this for the 1st 10 is accepted

You guys are of course both partially right - 10-4 really means "Message received"

Of course, the implication is that the prior message is understood and compliance (or agreement) is to be also observed.

Example; two officers approaching a house of a suspect in different vehicles, one says to the other on the radio
"You take the front door, I will got to the back"!

Other officer in order to keep radio banter to a minimum often uses no further conversation than "10-4"
Meaning, I received the message, understood it, agree to the course of action, and will comply!

So 10-4 sometimes takes on more meaning than just "I received the message"

Yes I did agree with Kelly
Now I am going to go 10-7 to play golf :-)
