What a stunning image! The composition is so simple and yet so effective. I love the contrast that you brought out and the way the water sparkles against the darkness of the image.

Perhaps the only complaint that I could make (and only if I was being extremely picky) is that IMO the writing on the left hand sail detracts from the rest of the image as when I was looking at the image in depth I found myself trying to figure out what was written there.

But that is, as I said, only if I was being extremely picky.

Well done on a great image!

Translucent sails - brilliant lighting. One of my top ten picks. Good luck

This would make a nice entry for the high contrast challenge. Must be a good wind - that boat is really heeling.

The lighting here is stunning, love the translucancy (dont know if thats a real word) of the sails and the silhouetted mountain....lovely.

Nice shot. I would prefer to see a little more color (or no color at all). The sky seems a little noisy. A little NeatImage goes a long way

amazing, i love it~!

The water has a luminescent quality which is nice. I think I'd like this shot so that the mountain isn't in the background at all. The single point of the mast of the boat might have more significance. Just me thinking out loud. 7

Very nice shot! Love the light reflecting off the water and sail. The hills in the background are cool too. The border works well. Nice job

Beautiful lighting on the water but seems to overpower the rest of the picture. Lovely background.
