That is the cutest thing ever. Your photographs and commentary really makes me smile. I love the little red roofed shack in the foreground too. It really adds a lot of interest.

What I like about this picture : against all the traditional rules saying : 2 thirds upper half or 2 thirds lower half, you just put it perfectly in the middle, compensated with the house in the lower half. And I also sailed with those Optimist boats when I was about 14.

Very nicely done. I like the way you have offset the building in the foreground and the boats in the back, gives the shot lots of depth. excellent detail as well. thanks for sharing.

Xoxoxo...the kids there might be excited to enjoy their respective sailboat. It is fun to see them in such neat position. And the pink one calls attention. Love your note. It helps viewers to enjoy this picture.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Well done! This is a very interesting photo. I have never heard of sail boats being that little but it's neat that they make them for children like that. Your focus, framing, and lighting are all great. I like how you made the little boats the center of attention. Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful photo. There is really good detail. Also the overall composition is great. The colors are good and it definitely has a story behind it. Good contrast, shadows, and highlights. Great work!

Another cute shot certainly done again from your terrace position, I love the half panorama cut for this item as it helps the long line of optimists stand out so well - excellent composition, nice distance picture with a good general impression - seems you had fun at a great competition day, technically your picture is perfect, it I s well balanced and has such a special impact due to the alignment of the boats, great capture, thanks for sharing

This is so cute! And a great play on paradolia. I've never seen little sailboats for kids like this before. (Maybe they're not allowed in the US?) I would have loved to have had my own boat at that age. Great stuff! Why are they called optimists?

Gorgeous and definitely awesome and great for these children.
Colors are just magnificent, weather appears to be suitable for them also.! Shadowed, detailed and centered properly. Magnificent photo and eye viewer.
Thanks for showing.
Congratulations and Good Luck.
Have yourself a great evening!
