Your title and photo had me a little puzzled until I read your notes! Its a great story but its a pity that you do not give the location. The shot is well composed, sharp and has fine exposure. Well done!

A beautiful picture of the Children in their Optimist sail boats taking their first steps to becoming yachtsmen & Women. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

now foolin! that is soooo cool. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of the mini sailboats or kiddie boats is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

A very fine way to introduce children to sailing. The boats all seem identical with the same rigging so that they can compete fairly against each other. I like the boathouse in the foreground and the anchored "real boats" in the back. Very nice colors and fine composition.

Nice journalistic shot, I really had no idea that you could spend thousands of dollars on your child's very first sailboat. WOW, to be indulged like that. LOL Nice camera techs. Thanks for the info and for sharing.

I like the photo of the small sailboats but even more interesting is the roof on the building in the foreground. You should get a photo ofthat building. The roof is beautifuln
