Nice shot of the boats on the water. I like the way the sails are all bent to the left. Great detail on the boats. I think the water seems a bit dark. Thanks for sharing.

well you nailed the perspective with the flat water ,& the height with the mast and sails .& width with how many boats and the panorama frame .( but in doing so I have to say i like your other post better no offence as I know this is for contest & you nailed that) The focus is good DOF good Colour of yellow buouy & sky trees and sails good . But the water looks almost black .
For a view that has hit the Perspective very good .Thanks for view and best of luck winner

Wow! This almost looks like a nighttime shot that you took out on the water. What a serene and very beautiful shot of these sails you have. It is definitely a fabulous capture by camera.

Comment from Sange
This is a nice capture and fine POV/Angle of the sailboats. You handled the white see we, but feel the water is very dark. I would have lightened that in editing by isolated just the water to adjust Highlights/lightening/ contrast.
Nice shot and I wish you Good Luck in the contest.

Woah.....literally! You have captured not only the number of boats in this regatta, but the speed. The angle of the sails tells us they are moving quickly.

Your light and whites and shadows is quite dramatic. I like it! These sailboats almost seems as if they are in a blanket of lava...or some other thick substance. The blue sky is the only telling proof that they are indeed on the water. :D A fun photo to view and imagine. Nice work with detail and stop action from a moving boat also!

Great scene from a perspective that is only normally seen on television. THE Turn is the best spot to be and you are fortunate to have been there. Very well done scene as the boats approach ~ Steve

Comment from kenolia
This regatta scene is captured beautifully and is certainly composed very well in the panoramic view, the yellow marker really works well ,it helps to give depth to the scene. May I suggest ,though , that it could be lightened as it seems to be rather dark ,thus losing detail in the waves, but if you intended it to be that way and happy about it , then so am I. Cheers!
best wishes
KEN.

I wanted to avoid whites blown out

Comment from Neilnap773
this is a lovely panoramic view of the race at Cannes and the dark foreground helps enhance the yellow buouy...The structure is very good with the excellent contrasting two colours of the sky and the waters work well with a good symmetrical balance
