Excellent color depth of the ocean. I have had the pleasure of traveling in the area and love the ocean there.. I can almost smell the salt air. The beauty of the scene is incredible. I just may have to paint this! You won't mind will you?

What a great photo of sailboats Fred. I only wish I had some 6 stars left, because this outstanding shot for sure would have deserved it. I especially like the cloudy sky and the deep blue sea, and the boats are standing out from them in the most excellent way.

Your photo is really pin sharp and it is indeed fine details to be seen in both boats. The exposure is also spot on and the white balance superb. I especially like the shadings in the sails of the biggest boat.

The photo also has a perfect cropping and both boats have been given room to move into. One of your best Fred, Indeed well done.

Oh yeah. Here is a photo. Not a video. This photo is exciting. Great shadows and light on the sails. I could go on and on just with them. Than you have the clouds. A photographer's dream. The city could not have been a better background. But than you have the nice blue water. That ties everything up. There is just a slight problem. The whole photo could be just a bit lighter. That will add even more punch that the photo has already.

Fred,
A beautiful stop action picture of these old Yachts in full sail as they race in the bay of Cannes the sunlight catching their white sails & making them glow against a background of the city partially covered in shadow from the approaching clouds that are welling up over the mountains behind adding interesting shapes & colours of white, grey & blue to the sky contrasting with the deep sapphire blue of the sea in the foreground. Artistic composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

great action here on the waters with the yachts in race with each other. The deep blue hues of the water working in contrast with the lighter blue skies is really beautiful. The clarity and sharpness of the shot is excellent particularly around the main focal points of the yachts sails..great shot
