Wow. That is awesome. I'm glad there is the little yacht to lend scale. I think the Balems sails look great, like a pop up book. I would have liked to see the flags better though.

Really nice shot capturing the movement and energy of the subject. The tri-cornered sails against the tight geometrics of the structures in the background are truly inspired.Wonderful composition. A very well done work. Thanks

Nice capture Fred. the sail boat gives us a nice sizing scale to the large ship.
Fine stop action, exposure and clarity.
Love the shades of blue here and the houses in the background.
The French flag flying is a nice bonus.
Nice shooting!

Definately a majestic ship Fred, what a fabulous photo and the small sail boat gives a great perspective of just how huge this sailship is! The houses and buildings in the b/g look like they have been painted in, such a great effect. Super stop action, focus, interest notes, and framing;)

Comment from FBI GUY
Great notes and a fantastic photo of a historical sailing ship. The blue hues of the scene along with the water gives this scene magical quality of a turn of the century painting. The filtered light of the background add to the feeling of a painting.
