Love your notes. I didn't know that! She is pretty and would have made a great entry into the Blue contest or Patterns that Repeat contest...never mind.

It's a great photograph, sharp and I love how the background seems to mimic the sails in patterns. You have composed it solidly onto a horizontal frame. It's rich in colour saturation and the French flag pops.

Nice too that you included that iddy biddy sailboat for comparison and we get a sense of her grandeur with your presentation.

I wonder why ships are called "she"?

A beautiful tall ship with a few of her sails set as she leaves the bay. Interesting history of this ship and she has certainly logged the miles. Good photo Fred with a pretty background of Cannes and the bright blue water of the bay. Thanks for the view.

Wow, what a large ship that you have well presented with a profile look, framed and focused. The little sailboat gives perspective to the large ship.

Fred - this is such a unique shot. The buildings in the horizon or landscape create an illusion of clouds. I line the dominate blues and how they all blend together. Thank you for the artist notes. Nice work. Kathy

Comment from Mara del Mar


Great sharpness and color, nice light, clarity, and texture. Great camera settings, and sharp focus. I love the sail boat with the wing to his favour, great depth and frame. Well done.
