Comment from Linda Bickston
Beautiful and perfect. The blues of the water and sky cannot be compared to anything else. The ship, with it's sails catching the wind, is magnificent. There is so much here to touch the soul. Love it.

Wow! I keep staring at this magnificent shot! The sky, clouds and the movement in your water. The details in your sails. I like the angle of this shot and the capture of light and shadows. Kudos! Well done! A pleasure to view!

This one really shows beautifully action, awesome color range, a really great shot hard at the wind and I m asking myself how you manage it to get the perfect view points and angles even on water - super technical skills, genuine sport shot, well reacted well done

Another truly beautiful photo of a sail boat with wind in its sails. Your stop action is just perfect, and the boat is standing out from the blue sea and sky in the most excellent way.

Your photo is just pin sharp showing really clear and well defined details in every part of the boat, and the white balance and exposure is perfect.

This is also a strong composition with the perfect cropping and the placement of the boat off to the right. Indeed an excellent shot Fred, and with a very good DOF.

Great feel to this. Beautiful color. Good depth. I would like to see a little more "sailing" room in front, but great photo.

How very beautiful is this sight of a sailboat swaying on the waters. It has such a calming effect just to look at it. I love the slight contrast of the water against the sky. It is a magnificent photograph.
