I visited your portfolio after you left a comment on one of my picture (180 degrees laptop turn). I am glad I did, your portfolio is enjoyable (unfortunatly, not all are). This picture above bears witness to the genius of a fierce and fearless race of some of our ancesters. You are Italian but I have normand ancestry and We probably all have some viking blood coursing through our veins wether we like it or not for these people were conquerors and shameless fornicators. I like your picture because this tremendous verticality reflect that male spirit of conquest even if I am totally straight and not inclined to like male references in stupid and too obvious references...this above has nothing to do with that...it's more like an eiffel tower or a spire, an arrowhead. What I really like is the information this picture carries about hull construction...very instructive for a boat maker (I am not).But those who are will be fascinated by the flawless and geniously hydrodynamic and yet stable shape, pretty original and wild this leather like stitching..It's eskimo style on a grand scale . My only criticism would be about the supports and chains...Imagine this shape floating in a misty atmosphere on some horizon-less lake or jutting out from between two giant waves, tilted a bit and with some teeth baring horned devil looking over the side?...Man that would be a picture now (or a painting). The hull details provide the raw material for that manipulation.

Estupenda composicion.

Saludos.

Very nice details.

Excellente composicione with perfect detail in shadows, midtones and highpasses. Love the reflextions on the walls from the boat that you have captured so nicely. Well done my friend. All the best from Stockholm Jannica
