Exaggerating...from a photograph?

You have me at a disadvantage since I don't know of where you speak. The only shoreline that has more boat/wake traffic near me is a lee shore, with lots of sandy shoreline. I may have your shore in the background of some of my early photographs. Maybe they could "refresh your recollection" of your shoreline.

It was really tricky holding that seed over the lake while it sent out roots and branches; however, I had lots of lumber and -- as a kid -- lots of time.
