Greetings from the CC. Pro's about your shot: I like the light on the sail. I like that the guy is looking at the camera (tho having sailed ya gotta keep your eye on that boom). I like the shades of blue. Horizon is straight, and not in the middle of the shot. What I think could move it from a good shot to a perhaps better shot would be maybe dodging the womans face so that you can see a bit more detail, both face and body, she is where all the action is. Yet cuz she is shadowed so much we miss it, could also put a lighting effect on her perhaps? Would of also been a bit more dramatic if there was a little more wind and bit more wave at bow of the boat. (tho weather conditions are a bit out of your control : ) )

Hope that helps. HAppy Shooting keep up the good effort!

Wish the two people were in better focus, the sea is a bit to dark here at the bottom, either more light or crop it a tad more.

Nicely composed and captured. I'd really like to see this one at a larger resolution, but no real complaints.

Perhaps some post-processing could have helped to boost details in the shadows.
