Another nice shot of the larger boats on the bay. Great lighting on the sails they really stand unto. Excellent details too. Thanks for sharing.

You have hit motherload with these photos. All underexposed to show the sails as white and no blow outs....good.

Your POV is from where? Sitting on your lawn chairs in your backyard?

Good shots, I'm enjoying this bunch superGod.

Comment from paulah
gosh this is an amazing, real life so you can touch it, kind of shot. The motion you catch, the glory of the day you also catch, and both fill one with wonder to take your breath away. Depth of field is super, color, focus, all works great.

Another beautiful shot. I like the way the polarizer gives you such deep blue water and makes the clouds stand out. Great composition and excellent detail.

Oh sg this is absolutely gorgeous! Easily rivals the companion piece w/ the Abbey in the background.

Your focus is so spot on crisp...throughout. The two sailboats are so well detailed and perfectly exposed. The colors...that rich blue water, the paler blue sky and your whites just make a really outstanding combination.

These sailing pieces have been so well put together sg. It looks like it was a gloriously beautiful day and perhaps it is that which shows so well in this series of photos. A pleasure to view them sg.

Comment from Kizz
I believe I just reviewed your contest entry that seems to be related to this photo:) Everything I mentioned in that review can be applied to this image. It is balanced, extremely sharp, has gorgeous blues, and wonderful highlights and shadow. Bravo on a fine pair of images:)
