Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful stop action picture of the yachts doing their best to reach the end of the race, the wind filling their sails & the crew leaning over the opposite side of the yacht to keep it upright I can feel their tension, the spray & the wind on their faces & almost hear the thudding of their hearts in their chest as they will their yacht ahead. Artistic composition the top of the sails & the hull of yachts giving a good example of the diminishing perspective to infinity. The clouds racing across the heavens tell of the wind speeds & add to the interest if the background of sky, mountains & sea. Beautiful framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

I start to believe you actually used two days and two cameras to take all these fine shots of sailboats. It is indeed more action in this shot than the others I have reviewed, and what I like the best about this shot is that it is three of them in a slight diagonal line. The sky and sea are just as lovely as in the others.

Again you have produced a nice and sharp photo and the boat up front are standing out so clear and well defined. The colors are crisp and clear and the exposure very good.

The framing is perfect and with the placement of the sailboats the composition has a good flow and balance. I think this is just another lovely and well taken photo, and of course with an excellent DOF.

LOL - I am sure you have Fred, and you are more than welcome for the review.

I like the composition and colours. The sailboat is perfectly framed within the shot to suggest movement and speed; yet its position to the left (with the other boats on the right small and far ahead) gives the impression that it is struggling hard to catch up. The gorgeous blue colour palette looks like an oil painting! Sublime!

Great action shot, the diagonal perspective is particularly good portraying a perspective with the race participants heading off into the distance. The structure and the sharp detail is exceptional
