Comment from Joanna Bachman
You have captured the wind in the sails that propel boat,beautifully. The wake of water,behind it, gives the viewer an idea of its speed.And, the shapes of the wispy cirrus clouds both above it,and,from side to side,are the shapes of the sails themselves.
Cordially,
Joanna Bachman

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
I think this is a Winner Shot - excellent second - the angle and close up is stunning as on a boat you can not just find a right position, this is a perfect stop action picture - excellent in negative and positive space - fantastic view point driving us straight into the action - clear and sharp, perfect contrast and lighting - color saturation is excellent showing all blues exactly and in genuine and natural way - well done, all the best for the contest

Comment from michiganmike
A beautiful shot with a bit more negative space on the right than I might prefer. The colors are fantastic and the detail in the rigging is excellent. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from ArtistCharles
Excellent shot of this racing boat under full sail. Good sharp focus on theboat and sails. Nice catch of the light that helps shape the sails, I also like that you caught the two echoing boats in the background. Wonderful colors in the water and sky. Well seen and well shot!!
