Comment from FBI GUY
The fact that you have sunshine makes me jealous. We have not seen the sun in weeks. Doldrums of winter in Michigan. The rich blue bay and the rocky shoreline give us a good DOF. The black racer is moving out quickly. But until it's over it is not over.

Good dof on an overcast day. Very nice contrast between the water, sailboats, city and mountains. I can even see windows which expresses sharpness and clarity. I think the sailboats are an added attraction. Thanks for sharing.

your very welcome

Comment from Gail Ross
The black sails capture my attention immediately and then I see the other three boats. It's good there's so much distance to the shore and city so it's smaller in the background. Great DoF with the hills behind. Very interesting.

This is absolutely beautiful. You have truly hit the mark with this one. I love it. I love the hills in the distance, the blue of the waters, the buildings in the background, and the beauty of the sail boats in the foreground. Excellent work. Great clarity, focus, and dof. Thank you so much for sharing. BTW, you deserve six stars, but I don't have them.

Looks like a grand place to winter in! Your sporting shot is well composed, sharp and has a fine exposure. Just wondering why the leader has black sails? Nice job!

Fabulous idea on the cropping to give us grand imagery of the race. The colors are nicely natural and the lighting well played. I sit here and imagine sitting nearby and having a moment of cheer getting MY winner in. LOL Great image. Thanks for sharing.
