If the background was a corral with cows or horses . . . I'd call it a rope . . .
Since the background is nautical . . . I'd call it a line . . .

This image does work as a tribute to the selfless... (show quote)
thanks Erich. Yes, it would have benefited with less of the sky. I'll try that. I have some others I will look at as well with your suggestion in mind. Hope you are healing fast. Matt

A very nice image, but I had trouble finding "The cleaner" Also I feel the image would be more powerful with the top 1/2 of the sky cropped off.
Yes, I agree with your crop suggestion. thanks Matt

Rope is generic. Line is a rope for a specific purpose ie anchor line, dock line and a host of others.
Yes, I have strung a clothes line for my wife. Thanks for your comment. Matt

I once heard a young woman say to a sailor, "Well, that's quite a line." 
He must have been all tied up in knots. Thanks. Matt

Actually, it may technically be "Small Stuff" If it is less than 1 3/4" Circumference (~9/16 Dia.), otherwise line is the term.
Rope is Wire.
My guess is that it is a 3" line

I think it is, but I can check with someone. Matt

Just one little tip. Learn how to make selections and then practice, practice, practice until it gets to be second nature. PS is a powerful program, you will enjoy it. Let us see more of your creations.
John, Thanks for the advice. Just what I need. Matt

Nice beach photo. That said, I'd like the "cleaner" to be a bit more prominent--I almost missed him.
I agree. He didn't cooperate. Had to make do. Thanks. Matt

Matt, would you tell what PS tools you used and how. Like for Unsharp Mask the slider values. Like for Curves the settings. Like for Eyedroppers, RGB settins and places in image applied. Were you trying to enhance the cloud & sky reflections in the water.
I was using the simple sliders: black, white, contrast, exposure, shadows, highlights, clarity, etc. They are the only ones covered so far. I clicked on the b and on the w for automatic adjustment. Then I moved the other sliders till I liked what I saw; I don't remember the values. Sorry, John.

This fellow, a volunteer, spends time each morning, clearing the beach of the previous day's detritus. He is early enough that he has the place to himself -- except for a nuisance photographer.
