Heaven!

A light breeze, a sharp light, 12.50m of boat under spinnaker...

that's heaven, isn't it? Unfortunatly the most interesting thing, the

latitude of 80N, is not apparent in the shot.

 

Does this shot make you feel "there" on a boat? Your comments and

criticism on this or any other of my sailing shots are most welcome.

great contrast ,colors and composition here,well done and very best regards.

Could be my monitor but appears a bit underexposed.

Esposizione perfetta, colori saturi e ben contrastati...si sente il mareeeeeeeeeeeee.......

I think the exposure's right - the highlights ould be blown if you'd let any more light in. Besides, the way the sunlight is filtering in to the left side of the image, just lighting up a few elements, is enjoyable. It does look as though the image may have lost some of the clarity of the transparency with the jpg compression - I'm guessing the background figure is clearer in the slide? Good use of the 20mm - the lines and movement formed by the bottom half of the image are great, and emphasize what it's like to be on a long pointy ship where there's not much space to move around.

with the wide-angle it evokes a dramatic feeling contrasting to the rather smooth water-surface. Real nice composition and colours!
