You really did a fine job on this series of sailboats Fred.
Nice stop action, controlled exposure and fine focus and clarity.
Nice camera techs.

thanks so much again;
some suggested to crop the small blown out white, but I think it increases the perspective

Comment from GaliaG

Comment from michiganmike
As someone who, in my youth, owned a gaff rigged yawl, it is a treat to see so many old boats with similar rigging. (As opposed to the triangular sail of the sloop in the background.) Beautiful colors and excellent open water composition.

Nice sailing shot presented here. It has a fine central composition but I feel that the bright white yacht on the left should be cropped out as it is a distraction. Otherwise, good photo!

Fred,
A beautiful stop action picture of this small fast yacht racing ahead in the wind laving a white trail of froth in it's wake. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

merci beaucoup

Comment from paulah
that is a beautiful color, the slightly saturated sky and sea help it stand out even more. Your detail and deep focus are so impressive! My only question is are you happy with the position of the sailboat? The single unit of sails and body seem to sit in the center somewhat..so just wondering. Thanks and glad you were there to see this.

many thanks Paulah
I wanted to include the white one

reply by paulah on 30-Sep-2016

The white one definitely adds to the perspective, that was a good call.

Comment from Neilnap773
a great shot and at such a super angle with the yacht slightly tilted...The image is sharp and the structure excellent . I particularly like the contrasting blues of the sky and the sea with the equal balance within the framework..good work
