Pretty image, but I can't get my mind around your title and the subject. Where are the sails? The look like rocks with reflected sunlight on them to me.... 5 for a high quality image even if I don't understand it.

Holy smokes! Are those Portuguese Man-O-Wars? At first glance I thought they were just rocks. Beautiful shot, but don't bother inviting me over for a swim. 9

Great foreground catching the reflection of the light - but what are they?? Could be sharper.

More sharper would be better, but nonetheless the sun is king and the lovely cloud help accent it. The effect of the light travelling towards the viewer is simply beautiful.

darn darn darn darn darn...i'm so desperately trying to figure out what i'm looking at! this photo is a 10 if you had gotten lower and showed me an up close of one of those whatever-those-things-are in the foreground and cropped the top right above the sun...

this is gonna drive me nuts (i know you say 'sails' in the title, but i'm not seeing it)...clearly 640 pixels isn't doing this photo justice.
