There cannot be many more things that are more historically romantic than seeing such ships sail by! Your shot of this one does it full justice. Fine composition with good exposure and sharpness have created a fine image!

A beautiful old sailboat. Hard to tell whether this gaff rigger is a ketch or a yawl, but it sure is a beauty. I like the composition/cropping and the great colors.

Can't beat a sailboat with a mountain backdrop and beautiful sky with clouds. Very nice photo. I would not change a thing on this shot.

This is truly picture perfect Fred. The blues are beautiful and I see you underexposed to get the white of sails in without blow outs.

Nicely formatted, sharp and cropped with good marginal space all around. Makes me want to be there.

Fred,
A stunning stop action picture of this wooden Sailing boat at full sail the sun shining though the sails from behind as is speeds past you on the sapphire sea against a background of the mountains & above them high flying clouds racing across the blue heavens. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Hi supergold,

This is set against quite a stunning background of clouds and mountains running into the deep blue of the sea. Very beautiful to behold. R
