Comment from paulah
I see the perspective as straight on, wind from the right, sailboats accept the wind and leaning left. Light blue, white, dark blue and a hint of yellow - ensure all elements are alive and sailing well. Good luck in the contest. Real pleasure to look at.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
A really special perspective and great position to get such a view point
I specially love the yellow marking point as it shows the objective of the sailing activity
excellent focus, strong color saturation, perfect contrast and lighting . A well composed picture "hard on the wind" well seen, well done, all the best for the contest

A very nice shot. I like the way the sailboats are spread out across the frame. The marker buoy is a well placed in the frame and the colors are outstanding.

Comment from suffolkbrian
good perspective in getting all these boats in and showing how spread apart they all are,slightly think the yellow buoy takes a tad away,but then its part of the overall scene and explains the reason its there...brian
