Not always. Used to be a lot of small cottages and Quonset huts down near the bay. Still some of those families there, but definitely going the way of other towns where people are priced out of the towns they grew up in.

You should try it with a filter

You guys don't understand. This is a true and accurate representation of what they saw. It's actually a pretty restrained edit.

I was shooting in the same area the day before and this is what I saw. For context, I am a mantis shrimp.

You’re allowed to like what you like, including this highly edited look. Nothing wrong with that. But it’s not what your eyes saw. When you play with the color past a certain point, it becomes a caricature of itself. It’s like if Emma Watson got plastic surgery. Why mess with something that’s already beautiful?

Then I’d say you might want to note that context when presenting the photo. Explaining that reasoning would at least clarify your editing choices, because presenting a stylized image and then saying “this is what it looked like” otherwise comes across as disingenuous

Not as much as youd think. We are very privileged with the scenery in this town. Many are privileged otherwise too, however i grew up poor in woonsocket so my appreciation of this place may be more so than others.

My s/o grew up here. Not a fan of the social elitism that runs this town. Her mother tried to tell me today that i shouldn’t buy a certain outfit because i “wouldn’t want to be seen wearing it around town” i laughed and told her i felt bad for her. It must be such a burden worrying what other folks think about you. I also feel bad for those assuming they know what kind of person an individual is because of where they sleep at night. Closed minds are responsible for the state of the world, its a shame really.

You caught a lot of flak here, photo/art is a subjective thing. If OP is cool with the shot and likes it all good. But OP put it online, meaning, some people will take time out of there day just to be shitty. I have worked in many areas of the photo world for over 25 years, and personally I am not loving the shot, its a fun moment for OP to remember, and thats great

HDR can and is over done a lot. its the same way that its hard just to drink just one beer, ya gotta try 2-3-4 and see what happens.

All that said, if I coudl say one thing its that the photo is flat, meaning it doesn't have a pure black and white in the photo. meaning 0 or 255 respectively on the histogram, ( basicly 0 represents black areas in the image, 255 represents pure white in the image. you can see your histogram here. https://imgur.com/a/WW6LWFo

and this explains image histograms a bit more. they are very helpful when shooting digitally. https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/tutorials/cheat-sheet-how-to-read-a-histogram

maybe try re processing the image. and see what different options you get, you might like some and its a good way to learn how to process images better. If this image came out of a camera app as we see it, then the app did some crazy HDR stuff and that's that.

also get an Italian sub with extra hots at duxbury pizza

Good luck

^ This is the way. Except the whole Italian Sub, which is absolutely amazing, however, I'd go with their Buffalo Chicken Sub, American cheese, bread toasted. Possibly with a side of French Fries. While you wait, grab a Mai Tai from Tsang's.
