Heading Out

Comments Appreciated

Excellent.  Nice color, good light.  Very evocative photograph.  Makes me wish I was there!

As an old sailor, I love this shot!! Very nice!!

Hi Charles! Nice colours in the sails and nice sky. Just a small remark about the horizon ... you know what is...Best regards.

Joao,

One could also say that IF the schooner was rolling (which it was) on the waves the horizon line would not be level. This way does give it a sense of movement. however, I willtake another look at it and see if making the horizon level is better. Thanks, Charles

Charles, 

 I always get a kick out of someone giving a rule in a situation where it does not apply.  In my book, a tilted horizon is absolutely what every sailboat picture needs.  In fact I would make this more dynamic by post processing to get the tilt greater.  Sailboats, skiing, tobaggans, swings, carnival rides, race cars, airplanes, etc. all provide the experience of the horizon not being horizontal. It's just when you are standing on the beach photographing a sailboat in the water that you want to be sure your horizon is level. Otherwise it appears the photographer was drunk.

I really like the contrasts between blue and tan, repeated several times in the picture.
