Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful stop action picture of the Old Wooden Sail Boat with the sun lighting up the sails bulging with the wind coming from behind to drive it forward, I can feel the wind on my face & hear the groaning & creaking of the sails. Artistic composition, beautiful framing, lighting & background with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.
Susan

Well weathered but still very useful , as your excellent photograph shows, what a sky and sea. I suppose just a normal day in the Caribbean.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Looked like a painting in the small thumbnail. Visually very pleasing with prominent focal points to study, clear and strong.

Rich in colour and well formatted with good exposure, sharpness, contrast.

I like this upload much more.

Well done! I love how perfectly you captured the sail boats. It seems like it was a rather cloudy day to be out on a boat. Anyway, you did a fantastic job :) Thanks for sharing :)

Comment from Linda Bickston
This is so beautiful. It reminds me, for some reason, of Mutiny on the Bounty. Just the sails, and the sea. The fantastic blues, and the emotion.

Comment from NancyJTubb
Wow, that really is an old boat. Great job of photographing this. Excellent lighting, color and depth of field. One minor criticism.....I think the horizon is not perfectly level. I am a fanatic about horizons, even a half of a degree. Lovely photo though.
