 While delivering a sailboat to the Florida Keys, I stopped for the night at my favorite harbor, Boca Chita, an island separating Biscayne Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. I took this with my Sony F707 as I had not yet bought my D70. The attention that this print earned is what got me interested in selling my work

Going back and forth from this one and the other picture Sunset on Boca Chita Harbor, I find this one more visually appealing. Why? Reason one is that the composition choice of a vertical focuses the attention more on the lighthouse & sunset. The viewer gets to see all the lovely details more closely - from the interesting roof on the lighthouse to the more well-defined ball shape of the sun that rests just above the water. Reason two, is that the vertical subtly compliments the lighthouse which one of the main focal points of the shot. The vertical orientation of the photo 'mimics' that of the vertical orientation of the lighthouse. Reason three is that there is a tighter focus/ concentration of those wonderfully rich warm hues of oranges and golds in this photo. Because the composition is a tighter focus the eye is treated to observing more of those lovely and vibrant colors of the sunset.

For you to even know of "this feeling" tells me that you are truly a sailboater. I deeply miss that feeling and need to get it back into my life.

Wow, reminds me of why I am a saiboater too. You can't describe this feeling to those that haven't experienced it, this picture tells them.

Nice texture and beautiful color without being overpowering. Your silhouette is crystal clear and sharp. Great job.

There is a Boca Chica much farther south in the Keys that US-1 runs through (or by).
