We were sailing in two on a 24feet/8meter boat and had a spinnaker

[=large sail, tricky to operate] flying up. It is the colorful

strucure reflected in the sunglasses. I was busy taking pictures and

left him

with steering the boat with quite some precision to keep the sail

nicely full of air...it was tricky to do and in turn seemed to please

him, hence the title.

 

I am not that good at portraits, but I'd like to know if this sorts of

conveyes the idea...

 

Thanks!

It could be a sunglasses ad but a sailor will relate to that joy and peace in his face knowing his rig is tuned and his sails are trimmed.

Like previous comment, I think you captured the right expression, it reminds me of the great moments I've had on a sailing boat and makes me want to do more. The photo is therefor a succes for me but aestheticly, I think the background spoils a little..

I agree with the above poster. I would love to see your face against blue skies, whereas this looks like total cloud cover. Ah well, what can ya do. Still a nice shot.
