A wonderful action shot. I blue hull of the boat and the choppy sea are both perfect. Nicely framed.

I find the curved shape in the foregound very interesting. It almost traces the line of a boat's hull and it interacts well with the heeling yacht in front, both through the diagonal lines and through having a "marine "shape.

However, I am not sure I like it cutting through the sails of the yacht in front, perhaps it would have been better if the yacht was further to the right, so that it was fully framed by the shape. Perhaps that way the yacht would be more prominent and dominate the scene more?

Welkom op TE!
Deze foto ziet er leuk uit met de ijzere beugel aan de voorgrong.
Zeg Robbert, ben jij wel zeker dat het in Nederland is? Ik heb dit berg in provincie Utrecht nog nooit gezien... ;o)

Welcome on TE!
The picture look nice with that iron "thing" on the foreground, good framing, but Robbert, are you sure this view is in The Netherlands? I've never seen such a moutain in Utrecht... ;o)

Une très belle prise de vue. Pas facile de photographie en pleine navigation. Belles couleurs.
Photo injustement oubliée.
Très bien, Robbert.
A very beautiful recording. Not easy of photography in full navigation. Beautiful colours.
Inequitably forgotten photo.
Very well, Robbert.

Dear Robbert, we really get the feel of chasing here. Go faster !!! To me the steel is distracting. Maybe to get more of your own boat would have been better. The other boat with the people sitting there is great.

I like the inclusion of the bar as a frame, its made an average shot very good, i only wish it were more in focus. The people look like they are having an easy ride! Great shot.

I like the way you framed this one Robbert, it makes me feel that I am reight there where the action is. Good shot, much improved by Bryan's skilled post processing. Well done both of you.
